you may spread your wings, but you shall not be able to fly. ||4||

You enjoy the tastes and flavors, you foolish self-willed manmukh.

You are trapped. You can only be saved by virtuous conduct, spiritual wisdom and contemplation. ||5||

Serving the True Guru, you will shatter the Messenger of Death.

In your heart, dwell on the True Word of the Shabad. ||6||

The Guru's Teachings, the True Word of the Shabad, is excellent and sublime.

Keep the Name of the Lord enshrined in your heart. ||7||

One who is obsessed with enjoying pleasures here, shall suffer in pain hereafter.

O Nanak, there is no liberation without the True Name. ||8||2||5||

Section 31 - Raag Malaar - Part 023

Malaar, Third Mehl, Ashtapadees, First House:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

If it is in his karma, then he finds the True Guru; without such karma, He cannot be found.

He meets the True Guru, and he is transformed into gold, if it is the Lord's Will. ||1||

O my mind, focus your consciousness on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

The Lord is found through the True Guru, and then he remains merged with the True Lord. ||1||Pause||

Spiritual wisdom wells up through the True Guru, and then this cynicism is dispelled.

Through the True Guru, the Lord is realized, and then, he is not consigned to the womb of reincarnation ever again. ||2||

By Guru's Grace, the mortal dies in life, and by so dying, lives to practice the Word of the Shabad.

He alone finds the Door of Salvation, who eradicates self-conceit from within himself. ||3||

By Guru's Grace, the mortal is reincarnated into the Home of the Lord, having eradicated Maya from within.

He eats the uneatable, and is blessed with a discriminating intellect; he meets the Supreme Person, the Primal Lord God. ||4||

The world is unconscious, like a passing show; the mortal departs, having lost his capital.

The profit of the Lord is obtained in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation; by good karma, it is found. ||5||

Without the True Guru, no one finds it; see this in your mind, and consider this in your heart.

By great good fortune, the mortal finds the Guru, and crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. ||6||

The Name of the Lord is my Anchor and Support. I take only the Support of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

O Dear Lord, please be kind and lead me to meet the Guru, that I may find the Door of Salvation. ||7||

The pre-ordained destiny inscribed on the mortal's forehead by our Lord and Master cannot be erased.

O Nanak, those humble beings are perfect, who are pleased by the Lord's Will. ||8||1||

Malaar, Third Mehl:

The world is involved with the words of the Vedas, thinking about the three gunas - the three dispositions.
