Whom shall I serve? What shall I chant? I will go and ask the Guru.

I will accept the Will of the True Guru, and eradicate selfishness from within.

By this work and service, the Naam shall come to dwell within my mind.

Through the Naam, peace is obtained; I am adorned and embellished by the True Word of the Shabad. ||1||

O my mind, remain awake and aware night and day, and think of the Lord.

Protect your crops, or else the birds shall descend on your farm. ||1||Pause||

The desires of the mind are fulfilled, when one is filled to overflowing with the Shabad.

One who fears, loves, and is devoted to the Dear Lord day and night, sees Him always close at hand.

Doubt runs far away from the bodies of those, whose minds remain forever attuned to the True Word of the Shabad.

The Immaculate Lord and Master is found. He is True; He is the Ocean of Excellence. ||2||

Those who remain awake and aware are saved, while those who sleep are plundered.

They do not recognize the True Word of the Shabad, and like a dream, their lives fade away.

Like guests in a deserted house, they leave just exactly as they have come.

Section 05 - Siree Raag - Part 022

The life of the self-willed manmukh passes uselessly. What face will he show when he passes beyond? ||3||

God Himself is everything; those who are in their ego cannot even speak of this.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is realized, and the pain of egotism is eradicated from within.

I fall at the feet of those who serve their True Guru.

O Nanak, I am a sacrifice to those who are found to be true in the True Court. ||4||21||54||

Siree Raag, Third Mehl:

Consider the time and the moment-when should we worship the Lord?

Night and day, one who is attuned to the Name of the True Lord is true.

If someone forgets the Beloved Lord, even for an instant, what sort of devotion is that?

One whose mind and body are cooled and soothed by the True Lord-no breath of his is wasted. ||1||

O my mind, meditate on the Name of the Lord.

True devotional worship is performed when the Lord comes to dwell in the mind. ||1||Pause||

With intuitive ease, cultivate your farm, and plant the Seed of the True Name.

The seedlings have sprouted luxuriantly, and with intuitive ease, the mind is satisfied.

The Word of the Guru's Shabad is Ambrosial Nectar; drinking it in, thirst is quenched.

This true mind is attuned to Truth, and it remains permeated with the True One. ||2||

In speaking, in seeing and in words, remain immersed in the Shabad.

The Word of the Guru's Bani vibrates throughout the four ages. As Truth, it teaches Truth.

Egotism and possessiveness are eliminated, and the True One absorbs them into Himself.
