Then, at the Gate of the True Lord, one appears truthful. ||4||

Serving the Guru, one comes to know the three worlds.

Understanding his own self, he obtains the Lord.

Through the True Word of His Bani, we enter the Mansion of His Presence. ||5||

Serving the Guru, all of one's generations are saved.

Keep the Immaculate Naam enshrined within your heart.

In the Court of the True Lord, you shall be adorned with True Glory. ||6||

How very fortunate are they, who are committed to the Guru's service.

Aasaa, Third Mehl:

Everyone lives, hoping in hope.

Understanding His Command, one becomes free of desire.

So many are asleep in hope.

He alone wakes up, whom the Lord awakens. ||1||

The True Guru has led me to understand the Naam, the Name of the Lord; without the Naam, hunger does not go away.

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 078

Through the Naam, the fire of desire is extinguished; the Naam is obtained by His Will. ||1||Pause||

In the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, realize the Word of the Shabad.

By this devotional worship, egotism is eliminated.

Serving the True Guru, one becomes approved.

So know the One, who created hope and desire. ||2||

What shall we offer to one who proclaims the Word of the Shabad?

By His Grace, the Naam is enshrined within our minds.

Offer your head, and shed your self-conceit.

One who understands the Lord's Command finds lasting peace. ||3||

He Himself does, and causes others to do.

He Himself enshrines His Name in the mind of the Gurmukh.

He Himself misleads us, and He Himself puts us back on the Path.

Through the True Word of the Shabad, we merge into the True Lord. ||4||

True is the Shabad, and True is the Word of the Lord's Bani.

In each and every age, the Gurmukhs speak it and chant it.

The self-willed manmukhs are deluded by doubt and attachment.

Without the Name, everyone wanders around insane. ||5||

Throughout the three worlds, is the one Maya.

The fool reads and reads, but holds tight to duality.

He performs all sorts of rituals, but still suffers terrible pain.

Serving the True Guru, eternal peace is obtained. ||6||

Reflective meditation upon the Shabad is such sweet nectar.

Night and day, one enjoys it, subduing his ego.

When the Lord showers His Mercy, we enjoy celestial bliss.

Imbued with the Naam, love the True Lord forever. ||7||
