Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Malaar

Those whose hearts are filled with my True Guru - those Saints are good and noble in every way.

Seeing them, my mind blossoms forth in bliss; I am forever a sacrifice to them. ||1||

O spiritual teacher, chant the Name of the Lord, day and night.

All hunger and thirst are satisfied, for those who partake of the sublime essence of the Lord, through the Guru's Teachings. ||1||Pause||

The slaves of the Lord are our Holy companions. Meeting with them, doubt is taken away.

As the swan separates the milk from the water, the Holy Saint removes the fire of egotism from the body. ||2||

Those who do not love the Lord in their hearts are deceitful; they continually practice deception.

What can anyone give them to eat? Whatever they themselves plant, they must eat. ||3||

This is the Quality of the Lord, and of the Lord's humble servants as well; the Lord places His Own Essence within them.

Blessed, blessed, is Guru Nanak, who looks impartially on all; He crosses over and transcends both slander and praise. ||4||5||

Malaar, Fourth Mehl:

The Name of the Lord is inaccessible, unfathomable, exalted and sublime. It is chanted by the Lord's Grace.

By great good fortune, I have found the True Congregation, and in the Company of the Holy, I am carried across. ||1||

My mind is in ecstasy, night and day.

By Guru's Grace, I chant the Name of the Lord. Doubt and fear are gone from my mind. ||1||Pause||

Those who chant and meditate on the Lord - O Lord, in Your Mercy, please unite me with them.

Gazing upon them, I am at peace; the pain and disease of egotism are gone. ||2||

Those who meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord in their hearts - their lives become totally fruitful.

They themselves swim across, and carry the world across with them. Their ancestors and family cross over as well. ||3||

You Yourself created the whole world, and You Yourself keep it under Your control.

Section 31 - Raag Malaar - Part 012

God has showered His Mercy on servant Nanak; He has lifted him up, and rescued him from the ocean of poison. ||4||6||

Malaar, Fourth Mehl:

Those who do not drink in the Ambrosial Nectar by Guru's Grace - their thirst and hunger are not relieved.

The foolish self-willed manmukh burns in the fire of egotistical pride; he suffers painfully in egotism.

Coming and going, he wastes his life uselessly; afflicted with pain, he regrets and repents.

He does not even think of the One, from whom he originated. Cursed is his life, and cursed is his food. ||1||

O mortal, as Gurmukh, meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

The Lord, Har, Har, in His Mercy leads the mortal to meet the Guru; he is absorbed in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

The life of the self-willed manmukh is useless; he comes and goes in shame.
