The Treasure of the Lord's Love is obtained by the Gurmukh, who contemplates the essence of reality.

The bride eradicates her selfishness, and adorns herself with the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Within her own home, she finds her Husband, through infinite love for the Guru. ||5||

Applying oneself to the service of the Guru, the mind is purified, and peace is obtained.

The Word of the Guru's Shabad abides within the mind, and egotism is eliminated from within.

The Treasure of the Naam is acquired, and the mind reaps the lasting profit. ||6||

If He grants His Grace, then we obtain it. We cannot find it by our own efforts.

Remain attached to the Feet of the Guru, and eradicate selfishness from within.

Attuned to Truth, you shall obtain the True One. ||7||

Everyone makes mistakes; only the Guru and the Creator are infallible.

One who instructs his mind with the Guru's Teachings comes to embrace love for the Lord.

O Nanak, do not forget the Truth; you shall receive the Infinite Word of the Shabad. ||8||12||

Siree Raag, First Mehl:

The enticing desire for Maya leads people to become emotionally attached to their children, relatives, households and spouses.

The world is deceived and plundered by riches, youth, greed and egotism.

The drug of emotional attachment has destroyed me, as it has destroyed the whole world. ||1||

O my Beloved, I have no one except You.

Without You, nothing else pleases me. Loving You, I am at peace. ||1||Pause||

I sing the Praises of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, with love; I am content with the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Whatever is seen shall pass away. So do not be attached to this false show.

Like a traveller in his travels, you have come. Behold the caravan leaving each day. ||2||

Many preach sermons, but without the Guru, understanding is not obtained.

If someone receives the Glory of the Naam, he is attuned to truth and blessed with honor.

Those who are pleasing to You are good; no one is counterfeit or genuine. ||3||

In the Guru's Sanctuary we are saved. The assets of the self-willed manmukhs are false.

The eight metals of the King are made into coins by the Word of His Shabad.

The Assayer Himself assays them, and He places the genuine ones in His Treasury. ||4||

Your Value cannot be appraised; I have seen and tested everything.

By speaking, His Depth cannot be found. Abiding in truth, honor is obtained.

Through the Guru's Teachings, I praise You; otherwise, I cannot describe Your Value. ||5||

That body which does not appreciate the Naam-that body is infested with egotism and conflict.

Without the Guru, spiritual wisdom is not obtained; other tastes are poison.

Without virtue, nothing is of any use. The taste of Maya is bland and insipid. ||6||
