420 : 3437
If it pleases the Commander, one goes to His Court, robed in honor.

420 : 3438
By His Command, God's slaves are hit over the head. ||5||

420 : 3439
The profit is earned by enshrining Truth and justice in the mind.

420 : 3440
They obtain what is written in their destiny, and overcome pride. ||6||

420 : 3441
The self-willed manmukhs are hit over the head, and consumed by conflict.

420 : 3442
The cheaters are plundered by falsehood; they are chained and led away. ||7||

420 : 3443
Enshrine the Lord Master in your mind, and you shall not have to repent.

420 : 3444
He forgives our sins, when we practice the Teachings of the Guru's Word. ||8||

420 : 3445
Nanak begs for the True Name, which is obtained by the Gurmukh.

420 : 3446
Without You, I have no other at all; please, bless me with Your Glance of Grace. ||9||16||

420 : 3447
Aasaa, First Mehl:

420 : 3448
Why should I go searching in the forests, when the woods of my home are so green?

420 : 3449
The True Word of the Shabad has instantaneously come and settled in my heart. ||1||

420 : 3450
Wherever I look, there He is; I know no other.

420 : 3451
Working for the Guru, one realizes the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||1||Pause||

420 : 3452
The True Lord blends us with Himself, when it is pleasing to His Mind.

420 : 3453
One who ever walks in accordance with His Will, merges into His Being. ||2||

420 : 3454
When the True Lord dwells in the mind, that mind flourishes.

420 : 3455
He Himself grants greatness; His Gifts are never exhausted. ||3||

420 : 3456
Serving this and that person, how can one obtain the Lord's Court?

420 : 3457
If someone embarks on a boat of stone, he shall drown with its cargo. ||4||

420 : 3458
So offer your mind, and surrender your head with it.

420 : 3459
The Gurmukh realizes the true essence, and finds the home of his own self. ||5||

420 : 3460
People discuss birth and death; the Creator created this.

420 : 3461
Those who conquer their selfhood and remain dead, shall never have to die again. ||6||

420 : 3462
Do those deeds which the Primal Lord has ordered for you.

420 : 3463
If one surrenders his mind upon meeting the True Guru, who can estimate its value? ||7||

420 : 3464
That Lord Master is the Assayer of the jewel of the mind; He places the value on it.

420 : 3465
O Nanak, True is the Glory of that one, in whose mind the Lord Master dwells. ||8||17||

420 : 3466
Aasaa, First Mehl:

420 : 3467
Those who have forgotten the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are deluded by doubt and duality.

420 : 3468
Those who abandon the roots and cling to the branches, shall obtain only ashes. ||1||

420 : 3469
Without the Name, how can one be emancipated? Who knows this?

420 : 3470
One who becomes Gurmukh is emancipated; the self-willed manmukhs lose their honor. ||1||Pause||

420 : 3471
Those who serve the One Lord become perfect in their understanding, O Siblings of Destiny.

420 : 3472
The Lord's humble servant finds Sanctuary in Him, the Immaculate One, from the very beginning, and throughout the ages. ||2||

420 : 3473
My Lord and Master is the One; there is no other, O Siblings of Destiny.

420 : 3474
By the Grace of the True Lord, celestial peace is obtained. ||3||

420 : 3475
Without the Guru, no one has obtained Him, although many may claim to have done so.

420 : 3476
He Himself reveals the Way, and implants true devotion within. ||4||

420 : 3477
Even if the self-willed manmukh is instructed, he stills goes into the wilderness.

420 : 3478
Without the Lord's Name, he shall not be emancipated; he shall die, and sink into hell. ||5||

420 : 3479
He wanders through birth and death, and never chants the Lord's Name.

420 : 3480
He never realizes his own value, without serving the Guru. ||6||
