The self-willed manmukhs may practice religious rituals, but they do not obtain the Name; without the Name, they lose this life in vain. ||3||

The practice of Truth is the essence of the Shabad.

Through the Perfect Guru, the gate of salvation is found.

So, night and day, listen to the Word of the Guru's Bani, and the Shabad. Let yourself be colored by this love. ||4||

The tongue, imbued with the Lord's Essence, delights in His Love.

My mind and body are enticed by the Lord's Sublime Love.

I have easily obtained my Darling Beloved; I am intuitively absorbed in celestial peace. ||5||

Those who have the Lord's Love within, sing His Glorious Praises;

through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they are intuitively absorbed in celestial peace.

I am forever a sacrifice to those who dedicate their consciousness to the Guru's Service. ||6||

The True Lord is pleased with Truth, and only Truth.

By Guru's Grace, one's inner being is deeply imbued with His Love.

Sitting in that blessed place, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, who Himself inspires us to accept His Truth. ||7||

That one, upon whom the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, obtains it.

By Guru's Grace, egotism departs.

O Nanak, that one, within whose mind the Name dwells, is honored in the True Court. ||8||8||9||

Maajh Third Mehl:

Serving the True Guru is the greatest greatness.

The Dear Lord automatically comes to dwell in the mind.

The Dear Lord is the fruit-bearing tree; drinking in the Ambrosial Nectar, thirst is quenched. ||1||

I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to the one who leads me to join the True Congregation.

The Lord Himself unites me with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 022

I serve the True Guru; the Word of His Shabad is beautiful.

Through it, the Name of the Lord comes to dwell within the mind.

The Pure Lord removes the filth of egotism, and we are honored in the True Court. ||2||

Without the Guru, the Naam cannot be obtained.

The Siddhas and the seekers lack it; they weep and wail.

Without serving the True Guru, peace is not obtained; through perfect destiny, the Guru is found. ||3||

This mind is a mirror; how rare are those who, as Gurmukh, see themselves in it.

Rust does not stick to those who burn their ego.

The Unstruck Melody of the Bani resounds through the Pure Word of the Shabad; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, we are absorbed into the True One. ||4||

Without the True Guru, the Lord cannot be seen.

Granting His Grace, He Himself has allowed me to see Him.
