The Lord's Name naturally fills their minds, and they are absorbed in the Shabad, the Word of the True Lord.

They redeem their generations, and they themselves obtain the state of liberation.

The Supreme Lord God is pleased with those who fall at the Guru's Feet.

Servant Nanak is the Lord's slave; by His Grace, the Lord preserves his honor. ||1||

Third Mehl:

In egotism, one is assailed by fear; he passes his life totally troubled by fear.

Egotism is such a terrible disease; he dies, to be reincarnated - he continues coming and going.

Those who have such pre-ordained destiny meet with the True Guru, God Incarnate.

O Nanak, by Guru's Grace, they are redeemed; their egos are burnt away through the Word of the Shabad. ||2||

Pauree:

The Lord's Name is my immortal, unfathomable, imperishable Creator Lord, the Architect of Destiny.

I serve the Lord's Name, I worship the Lord's Name, and my soul is imbued with the Lord's Name.

I know of no other as great as the Lord's Name; the Lord's Name shall deliver me in the end.

The Generous Guru has given me the Lord's Name; blessed, blessed are the Guru's mother and father.

I ever bow in humble reverence to my True Guru; meeting Him, I have come to know the Lord's Name. ||16||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

One who does not serve the Guru as Gurmukh, who does not love the Lord's Name,

and who does not savor the taste of the Shabad, shall die, and be reborn, over and over again.

The blind, self-willed manmukh does not think of the Lord; why did he even come into the world?

O Nanak, that Gurmukh, upon whom the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, crosses over the world-ocean. ||1||

Third Mehl:

Only the Guru is awake; the rest of the world is asleep in emotional attachment and desire.

Those who serve the True Guru and remain wakeful, are imbued with the True Name, the treasure of virtue.

Section 12 - Raag Wadahans - Part 037

The blind, self-willed manmukhs do not think of the Lord; they are ruined through birth and death.

O Nanak, the Gurmukhs meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; this is their destiny, pre-ordained by the Primal Lord God. ||2||

Pauree:

The Lord's Name is my food; eating the thirty-six varieties of it, I am satisfied and satiated.

The Lord's Name is my clothing; wearing it, I shall never be naked again, and my desire to wear other clothing is gone.

The Lord's Name is my business, the Lord's Name is my commerce; the True Guru has blessed me with its use.

I record the account of the Lord's Name, and I shall not be subject to death again.

Only a few, as Gurmukh, meditate on the Lord's Name; they are blessed by the Lord, and receive their pre-ordained destiny. ||17||
