411 : 2978
you shall have to leave it all behind.

411 : 2979
These things seem like only a dream,

411 : 2980
to one who takes the Lord's Name. ||1||

411 : 2981
Forsaking the Lord, and clinging to another,

411 : 2982
they run toward death and reincarnation.

411 : 2983
But those humble beings, who attach themselves to the Lord, Har, Har,

411 : 2984
continue to live.

411 : 2985
One who is blessed with the Lord's Mercy,

411 : 2986
O Nanak, becomes His devotee. ||2||7||163||232||

411 : 2987
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

411 : 2988
Raag Aasaa, Ninth Mehl:

411 : 2989
Who should I tell the condition of the mind?

411 : 2990
Engrossed in greed, running around in the ten directions, you hold to your hopes of wealth. ||1||Pause||

411 : 2991
For the sake of pleasure, you suffer such great pain, and you have to serve each and every person.

411 : 2992
You wander from door to door like a dog, unconscious of the Lord's meditation. ||1||

411 : 2993
You lose this human life in vain, and You are not even ashamed when others laugh at you.

411 : 2994
O Nanak, why not sing the Lord's Praises, so that you may be rid of the body's evil disposition? ||2||1||233||

411 : 2995
Raag Aasaa, First Mehl, Ashtapadees, Second House:

411 : 2996
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

411 : 2997
He descends the treacherous precipice, to bathe in the cleansing pool;

411 : 2998
without speaking or saying anything, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

411 : 2999
Like water vapor in the sky, he remains absorbed in the Lord.

411 : 3000
He churns the true pleasures to obtain the supreme nectar. ||1||

411 : 3001
Listen to such spiritual wisdom, O my mind.

411 : 3002
The Lord is totally pervading and permeating all places. ||1||Pause||

411 : 3003
One who makes Truthfulness his fast and religious vows, does not suffer the pain of death.

411 : 3004
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he burns away his anger.

411 : 3005
He dwells in the Tenth Gate, immersed in the Samaadhi of deep meditation.

411 : 3006
Touching the philosopher's stone, he obtains the supreme status. ||2||

411 : 3007
For the benefit of the mind, churn the true essence of reality;

411 : 3008
bathing in the over-flowing tank of nectar, filth is washed away.

411 : 3009
We become like the One with whom we are imbued.

411 : 3010
Whatever the Creator does, comes to pass. ||3||

411 : 3011
The Guru is cool and soothing like ice; He puts out the fire of the mind.

411 : 3012
Smear your body with the ashes of dedicated service,

411 : 3013
and live in the home of peace - make this your religious order.

411 : 3014
Let the Immaculate Bani of the Word be your playing of the flute. ||4||

411 : 3015
Spiritual wisdom within is the supreme, sublime nectar.

411 : 3016
Contemplation of the Guru is one's bathing at holy places of pilgrimage.

411 : 3017
Worship and adoration within is the Lord's dwelling.

411 : 3018
He is the One who blends one's light with the Divine Light. ||5||

411 : 3019
He delights in the delightful wisdom of loving the One Lord.

411 : 3020
He is one of the self-elect - he merges with the Lord, who occupies the throne.

411 : 3021
He performs his works in obedience to the Will of his Lord and Master.

411 : 3022
The Unknowable Lord cannot be understood. ||6||

411 : 3023
The lotus originates in the water, and yet it remains distinct from the water.

411 : 3024
Just so, the Divine Light pervades and permeates the water of the world.

411 : 3025
Who is near, and who is far away?

411 : 3026
I sing the Glories of the Lord, the treasure of virtue; I behold Him ever-present. ||7||

411 : 3027
Inwardly and outwardly, there is none other than Him.
