One who looks alike upon death and birth, is pleasing to my God. ||12||
The Gurmukh, while remaining dead, is respected and approved.
He realizes that coming and going are according to God's Will.
He does not die, he is not reborn, and he does not suffer in pain; his mind merges in the Mind of God. ||13||
Very fortunate are those who find the True Guru.
They eradicate egotism and attachment from within.
Their minds are immaculate, and they are never again stained with filth. They are honored at the Door of the True Court. ||14||
He Himself acts, and inspires all to act.
He Himself watches over all; He establishes and disestablishes.
The service of the Gurmukh is pleasing to my God; one who listens to the Truth is approved. ||15||
The Gurmukh practices Truth, and only Truth.
The Gurmukh is immaculate; no filth attaches to him.
O Nanak, those who contemplate the Naam are imbued with it. They merge in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||16||1||15||
Maaroo, Third Mehl:
He Himself fashioned the Universe, through the Hukam of His Command.
He Himself establishes and disestablishes, and embellishes with grace.
The True Lord Himself administers all justice; through Truth, we merge in the True Lord. ||1||
The body takes the form of a fortress.
Emotional attachment to Maya has expanded throughout its expanse.
Without the Word of the Shabad, the body is reduced to a pile of ashes; in the end, dust mingles with dust. ||2||
The body is the infinite fortress of gold;
it is permeated by the Infinite Word of the Shabad.
The Gurmukh sings the Glorious Praises of the True Lord forever; meeting his Beloved, he finds peace. ||3||
The body is the temple of the Lord; the Lord Himself embellishes it.
The Dear Lord dwells within it.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the merchants trade, and in His Grace, the Lord merges them with Himself. ||4||
He alone is pure, who eradicates anger.
He realizes the Shabad, and reforms himself.
The Creator Himself acts, and inspires all to act; He Himself abides in the mind. ||5||
Pure and unique is devotional worship.
The mind and body are washed clean, contemplating the Shabad.
Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 072
One who remains forever imbued with His Love, night and day - in His Mercy, the Lord inspires him to perform devotional worship service. ||6||
In this temple of the mind, the mind wanders around.
Discarding joy like straw, it suffers in terrible pain.
Without meeting the True Guru, it finds no place of rest; He Himself has staged this play. ||7||
He Himself is infinite; He contemplates Himself.
He Himself bestows Union through actions of excellence.
What can the poor creatures do? Granting forgiveness, He unites them with Himself. ||8||
