The Lord Himself is the Master, the servant and the devotee; the Lord Himself is the Cause of causes.

The Lord Himself beholds, and He Himself rejoices. As He wills, so does He enjoin us.

The Lord places some on the Path, and the Lord leads others into the wilderness.

The Lord is the True Master; True is His justice. He arranges and beholds all His plays.

By Guru's Grace, servant Nanak speaks and sings the Glorious Praises of the True Lord. ||5||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

How rare is the dervish, the Saintly renunciate, who understands renunciation.

Cursed is the life, and cursed are the clothes, of one who wanders around, begging from door to door.

But, if he abandons hope and anxiety, and as Gurmukh receives the Name as his charity,

then Nanak washes his feet, and is a sacrifice to him. ||1||

Third Mehl:

O Nanak, the tree has one fruit, but two birds are perched upon it.

They are not seen coming or going; these birds have no wings.

One enjoys so many pleasures, while the other, through the Word of the Shabad, remains in Nirvaanaa.

Imbued with the subtle essence of the fruit of the Lord's Name, O Nanak, the soul bears the True Insignia of God's Grace. ||2||

Pauree:

He Himself is the field, and He Himself is the farmer. He Himself grows and grinds the corn.

He Himself cooks it, He Himself puts the food in the dishes, and He Himself sits down to eat.

Section 11 - Raag Bihaagra - Part 015

He Himself is the water, He Himself gives the tooth-pick, and He Himself offers the mouthwash.

He Himself calls and seats the congregation, and He Himself bids them goodbye.

One whom the Lord Himself blesses with His Mercy - the Lord causes him to walk according to His Will. ||6||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

Rituals and religions are all just entanglements; bad and good are bound up with them.

Those things done for the sake of children and spouse, in ego and attachment, are just more bonds.

Wherever I look, there I see the noose of attachment to Maya.

O Nanak, without the True Name, the world is engrossed in blind entanglements. ||1||

Fourth Mehl:

The blind receive the Divine Light, when they merge with the Will of the True Guru.

They break their bonds, and dwell in Truth, and the darkness of ignorance is dispelled.

They see that everything belongs to the One who created and fashioned the body.

Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Creator - the Creator preserves his honor. ||2||

Pauree:

When the Creator, sitting all by Himself, created the Universe, he did not consult with any of His servants;

so what can anyone take, and what can anyone give, when He did not create any other like Himself?

Then, after fashioning the world, the Creator blessed all with His blessings.
