One who walks in harmony with the Guru's Will, obtains the supreme status of life.

Those humble beings who focus their consciousness on the Lord's Feet, live forever and ever.

O Nanak, by His Grace, the Lord abides in the minds of the Gurmukhs, who merge in celestial bliss. ||1||

Third Mehl:

Within the self is the pain of doubt; engrossed in worldly affairs, they are killing themselves.

Asleep in the love of duality, they never wake up; they are in love with, and attached to Maya.

They do not think of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and they do not contemplate the Word of the Shabad. This is the conduct of the self-willed manmukhs.

Section 09 - Raag Goojaree - Part 021

They do not obtain the Lord's Name, and they waste away their lives in vain; O Nanak, the Messenger of Death punishes and dishonors them. ||2||

Pauree:

He created Himself - at that time, there was no other.

He consulted Himself for advice, and what He did came to pass.

At that time, there were no Akaashic Ethers, no nether regions, nor the three worlds.

At that time, only the Formless Lord Himself existed - there was no creation.

As it pleased Him, so did He act; without Him, there was no other. ||1||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

My Master is eternal. He is seen by practicing the Word of the Shabad.

He never perishes; He does not come or go in reincarnation.

So serve Him, forever and ever; He is contained in all.

Why serve another who is born, and then dies?

Fruitless is the life of those who do not know their Lord and Master, and who center their consciousness on others.

O Nanak, it cannot be known, how much punishment the Creator shall inflict on them. ||1||

Third Mehl:

Meditate on the True Name; the True Lord is pervading everywhere.

O Nanak, by understanding the Hukam of the Lord's Command, one becomes acceptable, and then obtains the fruit of Truth.

He wanders around babbling and speaking, but he does not understand the Lord's Command at all. He is blind, the falsest of the false. ||2||

Pauree:

Creating union and separation, He laid the foundations of the Universe.

By His Command, the Lord of Light fashioned the Universe, and infused His Divine Light into it.

From the Lord of Light, all light originates. The True Guru proclaims the Word of the Shabad.

Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, under the influence of the three dispositions, were put to their tasks.

He created the root of Maya, and the peace obtained in the fourth state of consciousness. ||2||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

That alone is chanting, and that alone is deep meditation, which is pleasing to the True Guru.

Pleasing the True Guru, glorious greatness is obtained.

O Nanak, renouncing self-conceit, one merges into the Guru. ||1||
