O Siblings of Destiny, service to the True Guru alone is True.

53 : 1550
When the True Guru is pleased, we obtain the Perfect, Unseen, Unknowable Lord. ||1||Pause||

53 : 1551
I am a sacrifice to the True Guru, who has bestowed the True Name.

53 : 1552
Night and day, I praise the True One; I sing the Glorious Praises of the True One.

53 : 1553
True is the food, and true are the clothes, of those who chant the True Name of the True One. ||2||

53 : 1554
With each breath and morsel of food, do not forget the Guru, the Embodiment of Fulfillment.

53 : 1555
None is seen to be as great as the Guru. Meditate on Him twenty-four hours a day.

53 : 1556
As He casts His Glance of Grace, we obtain the True Name, the Treasure of Excellence. ||3||

53 : 1557
The Guru and the Transcendent Lord are one and the same, pervading and permeating amongst all.

53 : 1558
Those who have such pre-ordained destiny, meditate on the Naam.

Siree Raag, First Mehl, First House, Ashtapadees:

53 : 1562
I speak and chant His Praises, vibrating the of my mind. The more I know Him, the more I vibrate it.

53 : 1563
The One, unto whom we vibrate and sing-how great is He, and where is His Place?

53 : 1564
Those who speak of Him and praise Him-they all continue speaking of Him with love. ||1||

53 : 1565
O Baba, the Lord Allah is Inaccessible and Infinite.

53 : 1566
Sacred is His Name, and Sacred is His Place. He is the True Cherisher. ||1||Pause||

53 : 1567
The extent of Your Command cannot be seen; no one knows how to write it.

53 : 1568
Even if a hundred poets met together, they could not describe even a tiny bit of it.

53 : 1569
No one has found Your Value; they all merely write what they have heard again and again. ||2||

53 : 1570
The Pirs, the Prophets, the spiritual teachers, the faithful, the innocents and the martyrs,

53 : 1571
the Shaikhs, the mystics, the Qazis, the Mullahs and the Dervishes at His Door

53 : 1572
-they are blessed all the more as they continue reading their prayers in praise to Him. ||3||

53 : 1573
He seeks no advice when He builds; He seeks no advice when He destroys. He seeks no advice while giving or taking.

53 : 1574
He alone knows His Creative Power; He Himself does all deeds.

53 : 1575
He beholds all in His Vision. He gives to those with whom He is pleased. ||4||

53 : 1576
His Place and His Name are not known, no one knows how great is His Name.

53 : 1577
How great is that place where my Sovereign Lord dwells?

53 : 1578
No one can reach it; whom shall I go and ask? ||5||

53 : 1579
One class of people does not like the other, when one has been made great.

53 : 1580
Greatness is only in His Great Hands; He gives to those with whom He is pleased.

53 : 1581
By the Hukam of His Command, He Himself regenerates, without a moment's delay. ||6||

53 : 1582
Everyone cries out, "More! More!", with the idea of receiving.

53 : 1583
How great should we call the Giver? His Gifts are beyond estimation.

53 : 1584
O Nanak, there is no deficiency; Your Storehouses are filled to overflowing, age after age. ||7||1||

53 : 1585
First Mehl:

53 : 1586
All are brides of the Husband Lord; all decorate themselves for Him.
