They are engrossed in emotional attachment; they do not understand anything at all. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Lord is found. ||6||

The Vedas proclaim that Maya is of three qualities.

The self-willed manmukhs, in love with duality, do not understand.

They read of the three qualities, but they do not know the One Lord. Without understanding, they obtain only pain and suffering. ||7||

When it pleases the Lord, He unites us with Himself.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, skepticism and suffering are dispelled.

O Nanak, True is the Greatness of the Name. Believing in the Name, peace is obtained. ||8||30||31||

Maajh, Third Mehl:

The Lord Himself is Unmanifest and Unrelated; He is Manifest and Related as well.

Those who recognize this essential reality are the true Pandits, the spiritual scholars.

They save themselves, and save all their families and ancestors as well, when they enshrine the Lord's Name in the mind. ||1||

I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who taste the essence of the Lord, and savor its taste.

Those who taste this essence of the Lord are the pure, immaculate beings. They meditate on the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Those who reflect upon the Shabad are beyond karma.

They subdue their ego, and find the essence of wisdom, deep within their being.

They obtain the nine treasures of the wealth of the Naam. Rising above the three qualities, they merge into the Lord. ||2||

Those who act in ego do not go beyond karma.

It is only by Guru's Grace that one is rid of ego.

Those who have discriminating minds, continually examine their own selves. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they sing the Lord's Glorious Praises. ||3||

The Lord is the most pure and sublime Ocean. The Saintly Gurmukhs continually peck at the Naam, like swans pecking at pearls in the ocean.

They bathe in it continually, day and night, and the filth of ego is washed away. ||4||

The pure swans, with love and affection, dwell in the Ocean of the Lord, and subdue their ego.

Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 036

Day and night, they are in love with the True Word of the Shabad. They obtain their home in the Ocean of the Lord. ||5||

The self-willed manmukhs shall always be filthy cranes, smeared with the filth of ego.

They may bathe, but their filth is not removed.

One who dies while yet alive, and contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad, is rid of this filth of ego. ||6||

The Priceless Jewel is found, in the home of one's own being,

when one listens to the Shabad, the Word of the Perfect True Guru.

By Guru's Grace, the darkness of spiritual ignorance is dispelled; I have come to recognize the Divine Light within my own heart. ||7||
