He Himself establishes, and, having established, disestablishes.

O Nanak, the Lord Himself bestows the Naam. ||4||6||58||

Aasaa, Fourth Mehl:

The vine of the Lord's Name, Har, Har, has taken root in the Gurmukh.

It bears the fruit of the Lord; its taste is so tasty! ||1||

Chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, in endless waves of joy.

Chant and repeat the Naam; through the Guru's Teachings praise the Lord, and slay the horrible serpent of the Messenger of Death. ||1||Pause||

The Lord has implanted His devotional worship in the Guru.

When the Guru is pleased, He bestows it upon His Sikh, O my siblings of Destiny. ||2||

One who acts in ego, knows nothing about the Way.

He acts like an elephant, who takes a bath, and then throws dust on his head. ||3||

If one's destiny is great and exalted,

O Nanak, one chants the Naam, the Name of the Immaculate, True Lord. ||4||7||59||

Aasaa, Fourth Mehl:

My mind suffers hunger for the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

Hearing the Naam, my mind is satisfied, O my Siblings of Destiny. ||1||

Chant the Naam, O my friends, O GurSikhs.

Chant the Naam, and through the Naam, obtain peace; through the Guru's Teachings, enshrine the Naam in your heart and mind. ||1||Pause||

Hearing the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mind is in bliss.

Reaping the profit of the Naam, through the Guru's Teachings, my soul has blossomed forth. ||2||

Without the Naam, the mortal is a leper, blinded by emotional attachment.

All his actions are fruitless; they lead only to painful entanglements. ||3||

The very fortunate ones chant the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, Har.

O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, one embraces love for the Naam. ||4||8||60||

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 022

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

Fourth Mehl, Raag Aasaa, 3 Of Sixth House :

You may pluck the strings with your hand, O Yogi, but your playing of the harp is in vain.

Under Guru's Instruction, chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord, O Yogi, and this mind of yours shall be imbued with the Lord's Love. ||1||

O Yogi, give your intellect the Teachings of the Lord.

The Lord, the One Lord, is pervading throughout all the ages; I humbly bow down to Him. ||1||Pause||

You sing in so many Ragas and harmonies, and you talk so much, but this mind of yours is only playing a game.

You work the well and irrigate the fields, but the oxen have already left to graze in the jungle. ||2||

In the field of the body, plant the Lord's Name, and the Lord will sprout there, like a lush green field.

O mortal, hook up your unstable mind like an ox, and irrigate your fields with the Lord's Name, through the Guru's Teachings. ||3||
