But without the Naam, one babbles and argues in vain.

The glory of serving the True Guru is that it eradicates hunger and thirst. ||13||

When the Lord unites them with Himself, then they come to understand.

Without spiritual wisdom, they understand nothing at all.

One whose mind is filled with the Guru's gift forever - his inner being resounds with the Shabad, and the Word of the Guru's Bani. ||14||

He acts according to his pre-ordained destiny.

No one can erase the Command of the Primal Lord.

They alone dwell in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, who have such pre-ordained destiny. ||15||

He alone finds the Lord, unto whom He grants His Grace.

He links his consciousness to the deep meditative state of the True Shabad.

Nanak, Your slave, offers this humble prayer; I stand at Your Door, begging for Your Name. ||16||1||

Maaroo, Third Mehl:

The One and only Lord is pervading and permeating everywhere.

How rare is that person, who as Gurmukh, understands this.

The One Lord is permeating and pervading, deep within the nucleus of all. Without Him, there is no other at all. ||1||

He created the 8.4 millions species of beings.

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 057

The spiritual teachers and meditators proclaim this.

He Himself nourishes all; no one else can estimate His value. ||2||

Love and attachment to Maya are utter darkness.

Egotism and possessiveness have spread throughout the expanse of the universe.

Night and day, they burn, day and night; without the Guru, there is no peace or tranquility. ||3||

He Himself unites, and He Himself separates.

He Himself establishes, and He Himself disestablishes.

True is the Hukam of His Command, and True is the expanse of His universe. No one else can issue any Command. ||4||

He alone is attached to the Lord, whom the Lord attaches to Himself.

By Guru's Grace, the fear of death runs away.

The Shabad, the Giver of peace, dwells forever deep within the nucleus of the self. One who is Gurmukh understands. ||5||

God Himself unites those united in His Union.

Whatever is pre-ordained by destiny, cannot be erased.

Night and day, His devotees worship Him, day and night; one who becomes Gurmukh serves Him. ||6||

Serving the True Guru, lasting peace is experienced.

He Himself, the Giver of all, has come and met me.

Subduing egotism, the fire of thirst has been extinguished; contemplating the Word of the Shabad, peace is found. ||7||

One who is attached to his body and family, does not understand.

But one who becomes Gurmukh, sees the Lord with his eyes.

Night and day, he chants the Naam, day and night; meeting with his Beloved, he finds peace. ||8||

The self-willed manmukh wanders distracted, attached to duality.
