Aasaa, Third Mehl:

426 : 3701
Those who recognize their own selves, enjoy the sweet flavor, O Siblings of Destiny.

426 : 3702
Those who drink in the sublime essence of the Lord are emancipated; they love the Truth. ||1||

426 : 3703
The Beloved Lord is the purest of the pure; He comes to dwell in the pure mind.

426 : 3704
Praising the Lord, through the Guru's Teachings, one remains unaffected by corruption. ||1||Pause||

426 : 3705
Without the Word of the Shabad, they do not understand themselves -they are totally blind, O Siblings of Destiny.

426 : 3706
Through the Guru's Teachings, the heart is illuminated, and in the end, only the Naam shall be your companion. ||2||

426 : 3707
They are occupied with the Naam, and only the Naam; they deal only in the Naam.

426 : 3708
Deep within their hearts is the Naam; upon their lips is the Naam; they contemplate the Word of God, and the Naam. ||3||

426 : 3709
They listen to the Naam, believe in the Naam, and through the Naam, they obtain glory.

426 : 3710
They praise the Naam, forever and ever, and through the Naam, they obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||4||

426 : 3711
Through the Naam, their hearts are illumined, and through the Naam, they obtain honor.

426 : 3712
Through the Naam, peace wells up; I seek the Sanctuary of the Naam. ||5||

426 : 3713
Without the Naam, no one is accepted; the self-willed manmukhs lose their honor.

426 : 3714
In the City of Death, they are tied down and beaten, and they lose their lives in vain. ||6||

426 : 3715
Those Gurmukhs who realize the Naam, all serve the Naam.

426 : 3716
So believe in the Naam, and only the Naam; through the Naam, glorious greatness is obtained. ||7||

426 : 3717
He alone receives it, unto whom it is given. Through the Guru's Teachings, the Naam is realized.

426 : 3718
O Nanak, everything is under the influence of the Naam; by perfect good destiny, a few obtain it. ||8||7||29||

426 : 3719
Aasaa, Third Mehl:

426 : 3720
The deserted brides do not obtain the Mansion of their Husband's Presence, nor do they know His taste.

426 : 3721
They speak harsh words, and do not bow to Him; they are in love with another. ||1||

426 : 3722
How can this mind come under control?

426 : 3723
By Guru's Grace, it is held in check; instructed in spiritual wisdom, it returns to its home. ||1||Pause||

426 : 3724
He Himself adorns the happy soul-brides; they bear Him love and affection.

426 : 3725
They live in harmony with the Sweet Will of the True Guru, naturally adorned with the Naam. ||2||

426 : 3726
They enjoy their Beloved forever, and their bed is decorated with Truth.

426 : 3727
They are fascinated with the Love of their Husband Lord; meeting their Beloved, they obtain peace. ||3||

426 : 3728
Spiritual wisdom is the incomparable decoration of the happy soul-bride.

426 : 3729
She is so beautiful - she is the queen of all; she enjoys the love and affection of her Husband Lord. ||4||

426 : 3730
The True Lord, the Unseen, the Infinite, has infused His Love among the happy soul-brides.

426 : 3731
They serve their True Guru, with true love and affection. ||5||

426 : 3732
The happy soul-bride has adorned herself with the necklace of virtue.

426 : 3733
She applies the perfume of love to her body, and within her mind is the jewel of reflective meditation. ||6||

426 : 3734
Those who are imbued with devotional worship are the most exalted. Their social standing and honor come from the Word of the Shabad.

426 : 3735
Without the Naam, all are low class, like maggots in manure. ||7||

426 : 3736
Everyone proclaims, "Me, me!"; but without the Shabad, the ego does not depart.

426 : 3737
O Nanak, those who are imbued with the Naam lose their ego; they remain absorbed in the True Lord. ||8||8||30||

426 : 3738
Aasaa, Third Mehl:

426 : 3739
Those who are imbued with the True Lord are spotless and pure; their reputation is forever true.

426 : 3740
Here, they are known in each and every home, and hereafter, they are famous throughout the ages. ||1||
