Without the Guru, they do not understand pain and pleasure; attached to Maya, they suffer in terrible pain. ||9||

Those whose minds are pleased with the True Word of the Shabad

act according to pre-ordained destiny.

They serve the True Lord, and meditate on the True Lord; they are imbued with contemplative meditation on the True Lord. ||10||

Service to the Guru seems sweet to them.

Night and day, they are intuitively immersed in celestial peace.

Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, their minds become immaculate; they love to serve the Guru. ||11||

Those humble beings are at peace, whom the True Guru attaches to the Truth.

He Himself, in His Will, merges them into Himself.

Those humble beings, whom the True Guru protects, are saved. The rest are ruined through emotional attachment to Maya. ||12||

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 063

The Gurmukh realizes the True Word of the Shabad.

He has no family, and he has no mother.

The One and Only Lord is pervading and permeating deep within the nucleus of all. He is the Support of all beings. ||13||

Egotism, possessiveness, and the love of duality

- none of these shall go along with you; such is the pre-ordained will of our Lord and Master.

Through the True Guru, practice Truth, and the True Lord shall take away your pains. ||14||

If You so bless me, then I shall find lasting peace.

Through the True Word of the Shabad, I live the Truth.

The True Lord is within me, and my mind and body have become True. I am blessed with the overflowing treasure of devotional worship. ||15||

He Himself watches, and issues His Command.

He Himself inspires us to obey His Will.

O Nanak, only those who are attuned to the Naam are detached; their minds, bodies and tongues are embellished with the Naam. ||16||7||

Maaroo, Third Mehl:

He Himself created Himself, and came into being.

The One Lord is pervading in all, remaining hidden.

The Lord, the Life of the world, takes care of all. Whoever knows his own self, realizes God. ||1||

He who created Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva,

links each and every being to its tasks.

He merges into Himself, whoever is pleasing to His Will. The Gurmukh knows the One Lord. ||2||

The world is coming and going in reincarnation.

Attached to Maya, it dwells on its many sins.

One who realizes the Word of the Guru's Shabad, praises forever the eternal, unchanging True Lord. ||3||

Some are attached to the root - they find peace.

But those who are attached to the branches, waste their lives away uselessly.

Those humble beings, who chant the Name of the Ambrosial Lord, produce the ambrosial fruit. ||4||

I have no virtues; what words should I speak?

You see all, and weigh them on Your scale.
