Men and women are obsessed with sex; they do not know the Way of the Lord's Name.

246 : 4450
Mother, father, children and siblings are very dear, but they drown, even without water.

246 : 4451
They are drowned to death without water - they do not know the path of salvation, and they wander around the world in egotism.

246 : 4452
All those who come into the world shall depart. Only those who contemplate the Guru shall be saved.

246 : 4453
Those who become Gurmukh and chant the Lord's Name, save themselves and save their families as well.

246 : 4454
O Nanak, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides deep within their hearts; through the Guru's Teachings, they meet their Beloved. ||2||

246 : 4455
Without the Lord's Name, nothing is stable. This world is just a drama.

246 : 4456
Implant true devotional worship within your heart, and trade in the Name of the Lord.

246 : 4457
Trade in the Lord's Name is infinite and unfathomable. Through the Guru's Teachings, this wealth is obtained.

246 : 4458
This selfless service, meditation and devotion is true, if you eliminate selfishness and conceit from within.

246 : 4459
I am senseless, foolish, idiotic and blind, but the True Guru has placed me on the Path.

246 : 4460
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs are adorned with the Shabad; night and day, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||

246 : 4461
He Himself acts, and inspires others to act; He Himself embellishes us with the Word of His Shabad.

246 : 4462
He Himself is the True Guru, and He Himself is the Shabad; in each and every age, He loves His devotees.

246 : 4463
In age after age, He loves His devotees; the Lord Himself adorns them, and He Himself enjoins them to worship Him with devotion.

246 : 4464
He Himself is All-knowing, and He Himself is All-seeing; He inspires us to serve Him.

246 : 4465
He Himself is the Giver of merits, and the Destroyer of demerits; He causes His Name to dwell within our hearts.

246 : 4466
Nanak is forever a sacrifice to the True Lord, who Himself is the Doer, the Cause of causes. ||4||4||

Gauree, Third Mehl:

246 : 4468
Serve the Guru, O my dear soul; meditate on the Lord's Name.

246 : 4469
Do not leave me, O my dear soul - you shall find the Lord while sitting within the home of your own being.

246 : 4470
You shall obtain the Lord while sitting within the home of your own being, focusing your consciousness constantly upon the Lord, with true intuitive faith.

246 : 4471
Serving the Guru brings great peace; they alone do it, whom the Lord inspires to do so.

246 : 4472
They plant the seed of the Name, and the Name sprouts within; the Name abides within the mind.

246 : 4473
O Nanak, glorious greatness rests in the True Name; It is obtained by perfect pre-ordained destiny. ||1||

246 : 4474
The Name of the Lord is so sweet, O my dear; taste it, and focus your consciousness on it.

246 : 4475
Taste the sublime essence of the Lord with your tongue, my dear, and renounce the pleasures of other tastes.

246 : 4476
You shall obtain the everlasting essence of the Lord when it pleases the Lord; your tongue shall be adorned with the Word of His Shabad.

246 : 4477
Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, a lasting peace is obtained; so remain lovingly focused on the Naam.

246 : 4478
From the Naam we originate, and into the Naam we shall pass; through the Naam, we are absorbed in the Truth.

246 : 4479
O Nanak, the Naam is obtained through the Guru's Teachings; He Himself attaches us to it. ||2||

246 : 4480
Working for someone else, O my dear, is like forsaking the bride, and going to foreign countries.

246 : 4481
In duality, no one has ever found peace, O my dear; you are greedy for corruption and greed.

246 : 4482
Greedy for corruption and greed, and deluded by doubt, how can anyone find peace?

246 : 4483
Working for strangers is very painful; doing so, one sells himself and loses his faith in the Dharma.
