The Gurmukh meditates forever on the True Lord. Emancipation and liberation are obtained from Him. ||4||

Truth and self-control are found through the Door of the True Guru.

Egotism and anger are silenced through the Shabad.

Serving the True Guru, lasting peace is found; humility and contentment all come from Him. ||5||

Out of egotism and attachment, the Universe welled up.

Forgetting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, all the world perishes.

Without serving the True Guru, the Naam is not obtained. The Naam is the True profit in this world. ||6||

True is His Will, beauteous and pleasing through the Word of the Shabad.

The Panch Shabad, the five primal sounds, vibrate and resonate.

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 070

Through the True Name, one's actions are forever embellished. Without the Shabad, what can anyone do? ||7||

One instant, he laughs, and the next instant, he cries.

Because of duality and evil-mindedness, his affairs are not resolved.

Union and separation are pre-ordained by the Creator. Actions already committed cannot be taken back. ||8||

One who lives the Word of the Guru's Shabad becomes Jivan Mukta - liberated while yet alive.

He remains forever immersed in the Lord.

By Guru's Grace, one is blessed with glorious greatness; he is not afflicted by the disease of egotism. ||9||

Eating tasty delicacies, he fattens up his body

and wears religious robes, but he does not live to the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Deep with the nucleus of his being is the great disease; he suffers terrible pain, and eventually sinks into the manure. ||10||

He reads and studies the Vedas, and argues about them;

God is within his own heart, but he does not recognize the Word of the Shabad.

One who becomes Gurmukh churns the essence of reality; his tongue savors the sublime essence of the Lord. ||11||

Those who forsake the object within their own hearts, wander outside.

The blind, self-willed manmukhs do not taste the flavor of God.

Imbued with the taste of another, their tongues speak tasteless, insipid words. They never taste the sublime essence of the Lord. ||12||

The self-willed manmukh has doubt as his spouse.

He dies of evil-mindedness, and suffers forever.

His mind is attached to sexual desire, anger and duality, and he does not find peace, even in dreams. ||13||

The body becomes golden, with the Word of the Shabad as its spouse.

Night and day, enjoy the enjoyments, and be in love with the Lord.

Deep within the mansion of the self, one finds the Lord, who transcends this mansion. Realizing His Will, we merge in Him. ||14||

The Great Giver Himself gives.

No one has any power to stand against Him.

He Himself forgives, and unites us with the Shabad; The Word of His Shabad is unfathomable. ||15||
