He Himself is the supreme essence, He Himself is the essence of all. He Himself is the Lord and Master, and He Himself is the servant.

He Himself created the people of the eighteen castes; God Himself acquired His domain.

He Himself kills, and He Himself redeems; He Himself, in His Kindness, forgives us. He is infallible

- He never errs; the justice of the True Lord is totally True.

Those whom the Lord Himself instructs as Gurmukh - duality and doubt depart from within them. ||13||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

That body, which does not remember the Lord's Name in meditation in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, shall be reduced to dust.

Cursed and insipid is that body, O Nanak, which does not know the One who created it. ||1||

Section 11 - Raag Bihaagra - Part 018

Fifth Mehl:

Let the Lotus Feet of the Lord abide within your heart, and with your tongue, chant God's Name.

O Nanak, meditate in remembrance on God, and nurture this body. ||2||

Pauree:

The Creator Himself is the sixty-eight sacred places of pilgrimage; He Himself takes the cleansing bath in them.

He Himself practices austere self-discipline; the Lord Master Himself causes us to chant His Name.

He Himself becomes merciful to us; the Destroyer of fear Himself gives in charity to all.

One whom He has enlightened and made Gurmukh, ever obtains honor in His Court.

One whose honor the Lord Master has preserved, comes to know the True Lord. ||14||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

O Nanak, without meeting the True Guru, the world is blind, and it does blind deeds.

It does not focus its consciousness on the Word of the Shabad, which would bring peace to abide in the mind.

Always afflicted with the dark passions of low energy, it wanders around, passing its days and nights burning.

Whatever pleases Him, comes to pass; no one has any say in this. ||1||

Third Mehl:

The True Guru has commanded us to do this:

through the Guru's Gate, meditate on the Lord Master.

The Lord Master is ever-present. He tears away the veil of doubt, and installs His Light within the mind.

The Name of the Lord is Ambrosial Nectar - take this healing medicine!

Enshrine the Will of the True Guru in your consciousness, and make the True Lord's Love your self-discipline.

O Nanak, you shall be kept in peace here, and hereafter, you shall celebrate with the Lord. ||2||

Pauree:

He Himself is the vast variety of Nature, and He Himself makes it bear fruit.

He Himself is the Gardener, He Himself irrigates all the plants, and He Himself puts them in His mouth.

He Himself is the Creator, and He Himself is the Enjoyer; He Himself gives, and causes others to give.

He Himself is the Lord and Master, and He Himself is the Protector; He Himself is permeating and pervading everywhere.
