Siree Raag, Fourth Mehl:

41 : 1070
I stand by the wayside and ask the Way. If only someone would show me the Way to God-I would go with him.

41 : 1071
I follow in the footsteps of those who enjoy the Love of my Beloved.

41 : 1072
I beg of them, I implore them; I have such a yearning to meet God! ||1||

41 : 1073
O my Siblings of Destiny, please unite me in Union with my Lord God.

41 : 1074
I am a sacrifice to the True Guru, who has shown me the Lord God. ||1||Pause||

41 : 1075
In deep humility, I fall at the Feet of the Perfect True Guru.

41 : 1076
The Guru is the Honor of the dishonored. The Guru, the True Guru, brings approval and applause.

41 : 1077
I am never tired of praising the Guru, who unites me with the Lord God. ||2||

41 : 1078
Everyone, all over the world, longs for the True Guru.

41 : 1079
Without the good fortune of destiny, the Blessed Vision of His Darshan is not obtained. The unfortunate ones just sit and cry.

41 : 1080
All things happen according to the Will of the Lord God. No one can erase the pre-ordained Writ of Destiny. ||3||

41 : 1081
He Himself is the True Guru; He Himself is the Lord. He Himself unites in His Union.

41 : 1082
In His Kindness, He unites us with Himself, as we follow the Guru, the True Guru.

41 : 1083
Over all the world, He is the Life of the World, O Nanak, like water mingled with water. ||4||4||68||

41 : 1084
Siree Raag, Fourth Mehl:

41 : 1085
The Essence of the Ambrosial Naam is the most sublime essence; how can I get to taste this essence?

41 : 1086
I go and ask the happy soul-brides, "How did you come to meet God?"

41 : 1087
They are care-free and do not speak; I massage and wash their feet. ||1||

41 : 1088
O Siblings of Destiny, meet with your spiritual friend, and dwell upon the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

41 : 1089
The True Guru, the Primal Being, is your Friend, who shall drive out pain and subdue your ego. ||1||Pause||

41 : 1090
The Gurmukhs are the happy soul-brides; their minds are filled with kindness.

41 : 1091
The Word of the True Guru is the Jewel. One who believes in it tastes the Sublime Essence of the Lord.

41 : 1092
Those who partake of the Lord's Sublime Essence, through the Guru's Love, are known as great and very fortunate. ||2||

41 : 1093
This Sublime Essence of the Lord is in the forests, in the fields and everywhere, but the unfortunate ones do not taste it.

41 : 1094
Without the True Guru, it is not obtained. The self-willed manmukhs continue to cry in misery.

41 : 1095
They do not bow before the True Guru; the demon of anger is within them. ||3||

41 : 1096
The Lord Himself, Har, Har, Har, is the Sublime Essence. The Lord Himself is the Essence.

41 : 1097
In His Kindness, He blesses the Gurmukh with it; the Ambrosial Nectar of this Amrit trickles down.

41 : 1098
Then, the body and mind totally blossom forth and flourish; O Nanak, the Lord comes to dwell within the mind. ||4||5||69||

41 : 1099
Siree Raag, Fourth Mehl:

41 : 1100
The day dawns, and then it ends, and the night passes away.

41 : 1101
Man's life is diminishing, but he does not understand. Each day, the mouse of death is gnawing away at the rope of life.

41 : 1102
Maya spreads out like sweet molasses; the self-willed manmukh is stuck like a fly, rotting away. ||1||

41 : 1103
O Siblings of Destiny, God is my Friend and Companion.

41 : 1104
Emotional attachment to children and spouse is poison; in the end, no one will go along with you as your helper. ||1||Pause||

41 : 1105
Through the Guru's Teachings, some embrace love for the Lord, and are saved. They remain detached and unaffected, and they find the Sanctuary of the Lord.
