The blessing of this human life has been obtained, but still, people do not lovingly focus their thoughts on the Name of the Lord.
28
:
569
Their feet slip, and they cannot stay here any longer. And in the next world, they find no place of rest at all.
28
:
570
This opportunity shall not come again. In the end, they depart, regretting and repenting.
28
:
571
Those whom the Lord blesses with His Glance of Grace are saved; they are lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||4||
28
:
572
They all show off and pretend, but the self-willed manmukhs do not understand.
28
:
573
Those Gurmukhs who are pure of heart-their service is accepted.
28
:
574
They sing the Glorious Praise of the Lord; they read about the Lord each day. Singing the Praise of the Lord, they merge in absorption.
28
:
575
O Nanak, the words of those who are lovingly attuned to the Naam are true forever. ||5||4||37||

Siree Raag, Third Mehl:

577
Those who meditate single-mindedly on the Naam, and contemplate the Teachings of the Guru
28
:
578
-their faces are forever radiant in the Court of the True Lord.
28
:
579
They drink in the Ambrosial Nectar forever and ever, and they love the True Name. ||1||
28
:
580
O Siblings of Destiny, the Gurmukhs are honored forever.
28
:
581
They meditate forever on the Lord, Har, Har, and they wash off the filth of egotism. ||1||Pause||
28
:
582
The self-willed manmukhs do not know the Naam. Without the Name, they lose their honor.
28
:
583
They do not savor the Taste of the Shabad; they are attached to the love of duality.
28
:
584
They are worms in the filth of manure. They fall into manure, and into manure they are absorbed. ||2||
28
:
585
Fruitful are the lives of those who walk in harmony with the Will of the True Guru.
28
:
586
Their families are saved; blessed are the mothers who gave birth to them.
28
:
587
By His Will He grants His Grace; those who are so blessed, meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||
28
:
588
The Gurmukhs meditate on the Naam; they eradicate selfishness and conceit from within.
28
:
589
They are pure, inwardly and outwardly; they merge into the Truest of the True.

O Nanak, blessed is the coming of those who follow the Guru's Teachings and meditate on the Lord. ||4||5||38||

Siree Raag, Third Mehl:

:
592
The devotees of the Lord have the Wealth and Capital of the Lord; with Guru's Advice, they carry on their trade.
28
:
593
They praise the Name of the Lord forever and ever. The Name of the Lord is their Merchandise and Support.
28
:
594
The Perfect Guru has implanted the Name of the Lord into the Lord's devotees; it is an Inexhaustible Treasure. ||1||
28
:
595
O Siblings of Destiny, instruct your minds in this way.
28
:
596
O mind, why are you so lazy? Become Gurmukh, and meditate on the Naam. ||1||Pause||
28
:
597
Devotion to the Lord is love for the Lord. The Gurmukh reflects deeply and contemplates.
28
:
598
Hypocrisy is not devotion-speaking words of duality leads only to misery.
28
:
599
Those humble beings who are filled with keen understanding and meditative contemplation-even though they intermingle with others, they remain distinct. ||2||
28
:
600
Those who keep the Lord enshrined within their hearts are said to be the servants of the Lord.
28
:
601
Placing mind and body in offering before the Lord, they conquer and eradicate egotism from within.

Blessed and acclaimed is that Gurmukh, who shall never be defeated. ||3||

Those who receive His Grace find Him. Without His Grace, He cannot be found.
