So chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and through the Naam, find emancipation. The Simritees and Shaastras recommend the Naam.

Eradicating egotism, one becomes pure. The Gurmukh is inspired, and obtains the supreme status. ||7||

This world, with its colors and forms, is all Yours, O Lord; as You attach us, so do we do our deeds.

O Nanak, we are the instruments upon which He plays; as He wills, so is the path we take. ||8||2||5||

Bilaaval, Fourth Mehl:

The Gurmukh meditates on the Inaccessible, Unfathomable Lord. I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the True Guru, the True Primal Being.

He has brought the Lord's Name to dwell upon my breath of life; meeting with the True Guru, I am absorbed into the Lord's Name. ||1||

The Name of the Lord is the only Support of His humble servants.

I shall live under the protection of the True Guru. By Guru's Grace, I shall attain the Court of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

This body is the field of karma; the Gurmukhs plow and work it, and harvest the essence.

The priceless jewel of the Naam becomes manifest, and it pours into their vessels of love. ||2||

Become the slave of the slave of the slave, of that humble being who has become the devotee of the Lord.

I dedicate my mind and intellect, and place them in offering before my Guru; by Guru's Grace, I speak the Unspoken. ||3||

The self-willed manmukhs are engrossed in attachment to Maya; their minds are thirsty, burning with desire.

Following the Guru's Teachings, I have obtained the Ambrosial Water of the Naam, and the fire has been put out. The Word of the Guru's Shabad has put it out. ||4||

This mind dances before the True Guru. The unstruck sound current of the Shabad resounds, vibrating the celestial melody.

Section 20 - Raag Bilaaval - Part 041

I praise the Lord, day and night, moving my feet to the beat of the drum. ||5||

Imbued with the Lord's Love, my mind sings His Praise, joyfully chanting the Shabad, the source of nectar and bliss.

The stream of immaculate purity flows through the home of the self within; one who drinks it in, finds peace. ||6||

The stubborn-minded, egotistical, proud-minded person performs rituals, but these are like sand castles built by children.

When the waves of the ocean come in, they crumble and dissolve in an instant. ||7||

The Lord is the pool, and the Lord Himself is the ocean; this world is all a play which He has staged.

As the waves of water merge into the water again, O Nanak, so does He merge into Himself. ||8||3||6||

Bilaaval, Fourth Mehl:

My mind wears the ear-rings of the True Guru's acquaintance; I apply the ashes of the Word of the Guru's Shabad to my body.

By body has become immortal, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. Both birth and death have come to an end for me. ||1||
