Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Wadahans

The Gurmukhs are imbued with spiritual wisdom in this age; they are rid of the darkness of emotional attachment. ||3||

Serving the True Guru, one is emancipated; the Gurmukh crosses over the world-ocean.

The detached renunciates are imbued with the True Name; they attain the gate of salvation. ||4||

The One True Lord is pervading and permeating everywhere; He cherishes everyone.

O Nanak, without the One Lord, I do not know any other; He is the Merciful Master of all. ||5||5||

Wadahans, Third Mehl:

The Gurmukh practices true self-discipline, and attains the essence of wisdom.

The Gurmukh meditates on the True Lord. ||1||

Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 004

As Gurmukh, O my mind, remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

It shall stand by you always, and go with you. ||Pause||

The True Lord is the social status and honor of the Gurmukh.

Within the Gurmukh, is God, his friend and helper. ||2||

He alone becomes Gurmukh, whom the Lord so blesses.

He Himself blesses the Gurmukh with greatness. ||3||

The Gurmukh lives the True Word of the Shabad, and practices good deeds.

The Gurmukh, O Nanak, emancipates his family and relations. ||4||6||

Wadahans, Third Mehl:

My tongue is intuitively attracted to the taste of the Lord.

My mind is satisfied, meditating on the Name of the Lord. ||1||

Lasting peace is obtained, contemplating the Shabad, the True Word of God.

I am forever a sacrifice to my True Guru. ||1||Pause||

My eyes are content, lovingly focused on the One Lord.

My mind is content, having forsaken the love of duality. ||2||

The frame of my body is at peace, through the Shabad, and the Name of the Lord.

The fragrance of the Naam permeates my heart. ||3||

O Nanak, one who has such great destiny written upon his forehead,

through the Bani of the Guru's Word, easily and intuitively becomes free of desire. ||4||7||

Wadahans, Third Mehl:

From the Perfect Guru, the Naam is obtained.

Through the Shabad, the True Word of God, one merges in the True Lord. ||1||

O my soul, obtain the treasure of the Naam,

by submitting to the Will of your Guru. ||1||Pause||

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, filth is washed away from within.

The Immaculate Naam comes to abide within the mind. ||2||

Deluded by doubt, the world wanders around.

It dies, and is born again, and is ruined by the Messenger of Death. ||3||

O Nanak, very fortunate are those who meditate on the Name of the Lord.

By Guru's Grace, they enshrine the Name within their minds. ||4||8||

Wadahans, Third Mehl:

Ego is opposed to the Name of the Lord; the two do not dwell in the same place.

In egotism, selfless service cannot be performed, and so the soul goes unfulfilled. ||1||
