Creating the Creation, the Creator Himself beholds it; He enjoins us as He pleases.

This is the true greatness of His servant, that he obeys the Hukam of the Lord's Command. ||1||

Only He Himself knows His Will. By Guru's Grace, it is grasped.

When this play of Shiva and Shakti comes to his home, he remains dead while yet alive. ||1||Pause||

They read the Vedas, and read them again, and engage in arguments about Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

This three-phased Maya has deluded the whole world into cynicism about death and birth.

By Guru's Grace, know the One Lord, and the anxiety of your mind will be allayed. ||2||

I am meek, foolish and thoughtless, but still, You take care of me.

Please be kind to me, and make me the slave of Your slaves, so that I may serve You.

Please bless me with the treasure of the One Name, that I may chant it, day and night. ||3||

Says Nanak, by Guru's Grace, understand. Hardly anyone considers this.

Like foam bubbling up on the surface of the water, so is this world.

Section 31 - Raag Malaar - Part 005

It shall eventually merge back into that from which it came, and all its expanse shall be gone. ||4||1||

Malaar, Third Mehl:

Those who realize the Hukam of the Lord's Command are united with Him; through the Word of His Shabad, their egotism is burnt away.

They perform true devotional worship day and night; they remain lovingly attuned to the True Lord.

They gaze on their True Lord forever, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, with loving ease. ||1||

O mortal, accept His Will and find peace.

God is pleased by the Pleasure of His Own Will. Whomever He forgives, meets no obstacles on the way. ||1||Pause||

Under the influence of the three gunas, the three dispositions, the mind wanders everywhere, without love or devotion to the Lord.

No one is ever saved or liberated, by doing deeds in ego.

Whatever our Lord and Master wills, comes to pass. People wander according to their past actions. ||2||

Meeting with the True Guru, the mind is overpowered; the Lord's Name comes to abide in the mind.

The value of such a person cannot be estimated; nothing at all can be said about him.

He comes to dwell in the fourth state; he remains merged in the True Lord. ||3||

My Lord God is Inaccessible and Unfathomable. His value cannot be expressed.

By Guru's Grace, he comes to understand, and live the Shabad.

O Nanak, praise the Naam, the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; you shall be honored in the Court of the Lord. ||4||2||

Malaar, Third Mehl:

Rare is that person who, as Gurmukh, understands; the Lord has bestowed His Glance of Grace.

There is no Giver except the Guru. He grants His Grace and forgives.
