429 : 3816
Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, with intuitive ease and poise, spiritual wisdom is revealed. ||1||

429 : 3817
O my mind, do not think of the Lord as being far away; behold Him ever close at hand.

429 : 3818
He is always listening, and always watching over us; the Word of His Shabad is all-pervading everywhere. ||1||Pause||

429 : 3819
The Gurmukhs understand their own selves; they meditate single-mindedly on the Lord.

429 : 3820
They enjoy their Husband Lord continually; through the True Name, they find peace. ||2||

429 : 3821
O my mind, no one belongs to you; contemplate the Shabad, and see this.

429 : 3822
So run to the Lord's Sanctuary, and find the gate of salvation. ||3||

429 : 3823
Listen to the Shabad, and understand the Shabad, and lovingly focus your consciousness on the True One.

429 : 3824
Through the Shabad, conquer your ego, and in the True Mansion of the Lord's Presence, you shall find peace. ||4||

429 : 3825
In this age, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is glory; without the Name, there is no glory.

429 : 3826
The glory of this Maya lasts for only a few days; it disappears in an instant. ||5||

429 : 3827
Those who forget the Naam are already dead, and they continue dying.

429 : 3828
They do not enjoy the sublime essence of the Lord's taste; they sink into the manure. ||6||

429 : 3829
Some are forgiven by the Lord; He unites them with Himself, and keeps them attached to the Naam, night and day.

429 : 3830
They practice Truth, and abide in Truth; being truthful, they merge into Truth. ||7||

429 : 3831
Without the Shabad, the world does not hear, and does not see; deaf and blind, it wanders around.

429 : 3832
Without the Naam, it obtains only misery; the Naam is received only by His Will. ||8||

429 : 3833
Those persons who link their consciousness with the Word of His Bani, are immaculately pure, and approved by the Lord.

429 : 3834
O Nanak, they never forget the Naam, and in the Court of the Lord, they are known as true. ||9||13||35||

429 : 3835
Aasaa, Third Mehl:

429 : 3836
Through the Word of the Shabad, the devotees are known; their words are true.

429 : 3837
They eradicate ego from within themselves; they surrender to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and meet with the True One. ||1||

429 : 3838
Through the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, His humble servants obtain honor.

429 : 3839
How blessed is their coming into the world! Everyone adores them. ||1||Pause||

429 : 3840
Ego, self-centeredness, excessive anger and pride are the lot of mankind.

429 : 3841
If one dies in the Word of the Shabad, then he is rid of this, and his light is merged into the Light of the Lord God. ||2||

429 : 3842
Meeting with the Perfect True Guru, my life has been blessed.

429 : 3843
I have obtained the nine treasures of the Naam, and my storehouse is inexhaustible, filled to overflowing. ||3||

429 : 3844
Those who love the Naam come as dealers in the merchandise of the Naam.

429 : 3845
Those who become Gurmukh obtain this wealth; deep within, they contemplate the Shabad. ||4||

429 : 3846
The egotistical, self-willed manmukhs do not appreciate the value of devotional worship.

429 : 3847
The Primal Lord Himself has beguiled them; they lose their lives in the gamble. ||5||

429 : 3848
Without loving affection, devotional worship is not possible, and the body cannot be at peace.

429 : 3849
The wealth of love is obtained from the Guru; through devotion, the mind becomes steady. ||6||

429 : 3850
He alone performs devotional worship, whom the Lord so blesses; he contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

429 : 3851
The One Name abides in his heart, and he conquers his ego and duality. ||7||

429 : 3852
The One Name is the social status and honor of the devotees; the Lord Himself adorns them.

429 : 3853
They remain forever in the Protection of His Sanctuary. As it pleases His Will, He arranges their affairs. ||8||
