They serve the True One, and are absorbed into the True One, singing the Glorious Praises of the True One. ||1||Pause||

The Pandits, the religious scholars read, but they do not taste the essence.

In love with duality and Maya, their minds wander, unfocused.

The love of Maya has displaced all their understanding; making mistakes, they live in regret. ||2||

But if they should meet the True Guru, then they obtain the essence of reality;

the Name of the Lord comes to dwell in their minds.

Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 024

Those who die in the Shabad and subdue their own minds, obtain the door of liberation. ||3||

They erase their sins, and eliminate their anger;

they keep the Guru's Shabad clasped tightly to their hearts.

Those who are attuned to Truth, remain balanced and detached forever. Subduing their egotism, they are united with the Lord. ||4||

Deep within the nucleus of the self is the jewel; we receive it only if the Lord inspires us to receive it.

The mind is bound by the three dispositions-the three modes of Maya.

Reading and reciting, the Pandits, the religious scholars, and the silent sages have grown weary, but they have not found the supreme essence of the fourth state. ||5||

The Lord Himself dyes us in the color of His Love.

Only those who are steeped in the Word of the Guru's Shabad are so imbued with His Love.

Imbued with the most beautiful color of the Lord's Love, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, with great pleasure and joy. ||6||

To the Gurmukh, the True Lord is wealth, miraculous spiritual powers and strict self-discipline.

Through the spiritual wisdom of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the Gurmukh is liberated.

The Gurmukh practices Truth, and is absorbed in the Truest of the True. ||7||

The Gurmukh realizes that the Lord alone creates, and having created, He destroys.

To the Gurmukh, the Lord Himself is social class, status and all honor.

O Nanak, the Gurmukhs meditate on the Naam; through the Naam, they merge in the Naam. ||8||12||13||

Maajh, Third Mehl:

Creation and destruction happen through the Word of the Shabad.

Through the Shabad, creation happens again.

The Gurmukh knows that the True Lord is all-pervading. The Gurmukh understands creation and merger. ||1||

I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who enshrine the Perfect Guru within their minds.

From the Guru comes peace and tranquility; worship Him with devotion, day and night. Chanting His Glorious Praises, merge into the Glorious Lord. ||1||Pause||

The Gurmukh sees the Lord on the earth, and the Gurmukh sees Him in the water.

The Gurmukh sees Him in wind and fire; such is the wonder of His Play.
