His tongue does not taste the sublime essence of the Lord, and his heart-lotus does not blossom forth.

The self-willed manmukh eats poison and dies; he is ruined by love and attachment to Maya.

Without the Name of the One Lord, his life is cursed, and his home is cursed as well.

When God Himself bestows His Glance of Grace, then one becomes the slave of His slaves.

And then, night and day, he serves the True Guru, and never leaves His side.

As the lotus flower floats unaffected in the water, so does he remain detached in his own household.

O servant Nanak, the Lord acts, and inspires everyone to act, according to the Pleasure of His Will. He is the treasure of virtue. ||2||

Pauree:

For thirty-six ages, there was utter darkness. Then, the Lord revealed Himself.

He Himself created the entire universe. He Himself blessed it with understanding.

He created the Simritees and the Shaastras; He calculates the accounts of virtue and vice.

He alone understands, whom the Lord inspires to understand and to be pleased with the True Word of the Shabad.

He Himself is all-pervading; He Himself forgives, and unites with Himself. ||7||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

This body is all blood; without blood, the body cannot exist.

Those who are attuned to their Lord - their bodies are not filled with the blood of greed.

In the Fear of God, the body becomes thin, and the blood of greed passes out of the body.

Section 22 - Raag Raamkalee - Part 075

As fire purifies metal, so does the Fear of the Lord eradicate the filth of evil-mindedness.

O Nanak, beautiful are those humble beings, who are imbued with the Lord's Love. ||1||

Third Mehl:

In Raamkalee, I have enshrined the Lord in my mind; thus I have been embellished.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, my heart-lotus has blossomed forth; the Lord blessed me with the treasure of devotional worship.

My doubt was dispelled, and I woke up; the darkness of ignorance was dispelled.

She who is in love with her Lord, is the most infinitely beautiful.

Such a beautiful, happy soul-bride enjoys her Husband Lord forever.

The self-willed manmukhs do not know how to decorate themselves; wasting their whole lives, they depart.

Those who decorate themselves without devotional worship to the Lord, are continually reincarnated to suffer.

They do not obtain respect in this world; the Creator Lord alone knows what will happen to them in the world hereafter.

O Nanak, the True Lord is the One and only; duality exists only in the world.

He Himself enjoins them to good and bad; they do only that which the Creator Lord causes them to do. ||2||

Third Mehl:

Without serving the True Guru, tranquility is not obtained. It cannot be found anywhere else.
