When the individual consumes his egotism, he becomes immaculate, and his wandering mind is restrained.

"How can the root, the source of all be realized? How can the soul know itself? How can the sun enter into the house of the moon?"

The Gurmukh eliminates egotism from within; then, O Nanak, the sun naturally enters into the home of the moon. ||64||

When the mind becomes steady and stable, it abides in the heart, and then the Gurmukh realizes the root, the source of all.

The breath is seated in the home of the navel; the Gurmukh searches, and finds the essence of reality.

This Shabad permeates the nucleus of the self, deep within, in its own home; the Light of this Shabad pervades the three worlds.

Hunger for the True Lord shall consume your pain, and through the True Lord, you shall be satisfied.

The Gurmukh knows the unstruck sound current of the Bani; how rare are those who understand.

Says Nanak, one who speaks the Truth is dyed in the color of Truth, which will never fade away. ||65||

"When this heart and body did not exist, where did the mind reside?

When there was no support of the navel lotus, then in which home did the breath reside?

When there was no form or shape, then how could anyone lovingly focus on the Shabad?

When there was no dungeon formed from egg and sperm, who could measure the Lord's value and extent?

When color, dress and form could not be seen, how could the True Lord be known?"

O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are detached. Then and now, they see the Truest of the True. ||66||

When the heart and the body did not exist, O hermit, then the mind resided in the absolute, detached Lord.

When there was no support of the lotus of the navel, the breath remained in its own home, attuned to the Lord's Love.

When there was no form or shape or social class, then the Shabad, in its essence, resided in the unmanifest Lord.

When the world and the sky did not even exist, the Light of the Formless Lord filled the three worlds.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 071

Color, dress and form were contained in the One Lord; the Shabad was contained in the One, Wondrous Lord.

Without the True Name, no one can become pure; O Nanak, this is the Unspoken Speech. ||67||

"How, in what way, was the world formed, O man? And what disaster will end it?"

In egotism, the world was formed, O man; forgetting the Naam, it suffers and dies.

One who becomes Gurmukh contemplates the essence of spiritual wisdom; through the Shabad, he burns away his egotism.

His body and mind become immaculate, through the Immaculate Bani of the Word. He remains absorbed in Truth.

Through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he remains detached; he enshrines the True Name in his heart.
