Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Dhanaasaree

Blessed with the Word of the Shabad, he meditates forever on the Lord, the Beloved.

Through the True Name, glorious greatness is obtained. ||3||

The Creator Himself abides throughout the ages.

If He casts His Glance of Grace, then we meet Him.

Through the Word of Gurbani, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind.

O Nanak, God unites with Himself those who are imbued with Truth. ||4||3||

Dhanaasaree, Third Mehl:

The world is polluted, and those in the world become polluted as well.

In attachment to duality, it comes and goes.

This love of duality has ruined the entire world.

The self-willed manmukh suffers punishment, and forfeits his honor. ||1||

Serving the Guru, one becomes immaculate.

He enshrines the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within, and his state becomes exalted. ||Pause||

The Gurmukhs are saved, taking to the Lord's Sanctuary.

Attuned to the Lord's Name, they commit themselves to devotional worship.

The Lord's humble servant performs devotional worship, and is blessed with greatness.

Attuned to Truth, he is absorbed in celestial peace. ||2||

Know that one who purchases the True Name is very rare.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he comes to understand himself.

True is his capital, and true is his trade.

Blessed is that person, who loves the Naam. ||3||

God, the True Lord, has attached some to His True Name.

They listen to the most sublime Word of His Bani, and the Word of His Shabad.

Section 14 - Raag Dhanaasaree - Part 006

True is service to the True Lord God.

O Nanak, the Naam is the Embellisher. ||4||4||

Dhanaasaree, Third Mehl:

I am a sacrifice to those who serve the Lord.

The Truth is in their hearts, and the True Name is on their lips.

Dwelling upon the Truest of the True, their pains are dispelled.

Through the True Word of the Shabad, the Lord comes to dwell in their minds. ||1||

Listening to the Word of Gurbani, filth is washed off,

and they naturally enshrine the Lord's Name in their minds. ||1||Pause||

One who conquers fraud, deceit and the fire of desire

finds tranquility, peace and pleasure within.

If one walks in harmony with the Guru's Will, he eliminates his self-conceit.

He finds the True Mansion of the Lord's Presence, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||

The blind, self-willed manmukh does not understand the Shabad; he does not know the Word of the Guru's Bani,

and so he passes his life in misery.

But if he meets the True Guru, then he finds peace,

and the ego within is silenced. ||3||

Who else should I speak to? The One Lord is the Giver of all.

When He grants His Grace, then we obtain the Word of the Shabad.
