Without the Name, everyone wanders around in confusion; they waste away their lives in vain. ||9||

Yogi, you have lost the Way; you wander around confused. Through hypocrisy, Yoga is not attained. ||10||

Sitting in Yogic postures in the City of God, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, you shall find Yoga. ||11||

Restrain your restless wanderings through the Shabad, and the Naam will come to dwell in your mind. ||12||

This body is a pool, O Saints; bathe in it, and enshrine love for the Lord. ||13||

Those who cleanse themselves through the Naam, are the most immaculate people; through the Shabad, they wash off their filth. ||14||

Trapped by the three qualities, the unconscious person does not think of the Naam; without the Name, he wastes away. ||15||

The three forms of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are trapped in the three qualities, lost in confusion. ||16||

By Guru's Grace, this triad is eradicated, and one is lovingly absorbed in the fourth state. ||17||

The Pandits, the religious scholars, read, study and discuss the arguments; they do not understand. ||18||

Engrossed in corruption, they wander in confusion; who can they possibly instruct, O Siblings of Destiny? ||19||

The Bani, the Word of the humble devotee is the most sublime and exalted; it prevails throughout the ages. ||20||

One who is committed to this Bani is emancipated, and through the Shabad, merges in Truth. ||21||

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 035

One who searches the village of the body, through the Shabad, obtains the nine treasures of the Naam. ||22||

Conquering desire, the mind is absorbed in intuitive ease, and then one chants the Lord's Praises without speaking. ||23||

Let your eyes gaze upon the Wondrous Lord; let your consciousness be attached to the Unseen Lord. ||24||

The Unseen Lord is forever absolute and immaculate; one's light merges into the Light. ||25||

I praise my Guru forever, who has inspired me to understand this true understanding. ||26||

Nanak offers this one prayer: through the Name, may I find salvation and honor. ||27||2||11||

Raamkalee, Third Mehl:

It is so hard to obtain that devotional worship of the Lord, O Saints. It cannot be described at all. ||1||

O Saints, as Gurmukh, find the Perfect Lord,

and worship the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Without the Lord, everything is filthy, O Saints; what offering should I place before Him? ||2||

Whatever pleases the True Lord is devotional worship; His Will abides in the mind. ||3||

Everyone worships Him, O Saints, but the self-willed manmukh is not accepted or approved. ||4||

If someone dies in the Word of the Shabad, his mind become immaculate, O Saints; such worship is accepted and approved. ||5||
