Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Aasaa

Knowledge and ignorance are all your making; You have control over these.

Some, You forgive, and unite with Yourself; while others, the wicked, you strike down and drive out of Your Court. ||3||

Some, from the very beginning, are pure and pious; You attach them to Your Name.

Serving the Guru, peace wells up; through the True Word of the Shabad, one comes to understand. ||4||

Some are crooked, filthy and vicious; the Lord Himself has led them astray from the Name.

They have no intuition, no understanding and no self-discipline; they wander around delirious. ||5||

He grants faith to those whom He has blessed with His Glance of Grace.

This mind finds truth, contentment and self-discipline, hearing the Immaculate Word of the Shabad. ||6||

By reading books, one cannot reach Him; by speaking and talking, His limits cannot be found.

Through the Guru, His value is found; through the True Word of the Shabad, understanding is obtained. ||7||

So reform this mind and body, by contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

O Nanak, within this body is the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord; it is found through the Love of the Infinite Guru. ||8||10||32||

Aasaa, Third Mehl:

The happy soul-brides are imbued with Truth; they are adorned with the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 082

They find their Husband Lord within their own home, contemplating the True Word of the Shabad. ||1||

Through merits, their demerits are forgiven, and they embrace love for the Lord.

The soul-bride then obtains the Lord as her Husband; meeting the Guru, this union comes about. ||1||Pause||

Some do not know the Presence of their Husband Lord; they are deluded by duality and doubt.

How can the forsaken brides meet Him? Their life night passes in pain. ||2||

Those whose minds are filled with the True Lord, perform truthful actions.

Night and day, they serve the Lord with poise, and are absorbed in the True Lord. ||3||

The forsaken brides wander around, deluded by doubt; telling lies, they eat poison.

They do not know their Husband Lord, and upon their deserted bed, they suffer in misery. ||4||

The True Lord is the One and only; do not be deluded by doubt, O my mind.

Consult with the Guru, serve the True Lord, and enshrine the Immaculate Truth within your mind. ||5||

The happy soul-bride always finds her Husband Lord; she banishes egotism and self-conceit.

She remains attached to her Husband Lord, night and day, and she finds peace upon His Bed of Truth. ||6||

Those who shouted, "Mine, mine!" have departed, without obtaining anything.

The separated one does not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, and departs, repenting in the end. ||7||

That Husband Lord of mine is the One and only; I am in love with the One alone.
