791 : 2455
He obtains his own home and mansion, by loving the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

791 : 2456
As Gurmukh, I have obtained the Naam; I am a sacrifice to the Guru.

791 : 2457
You Yourself embellish and adorn us, O Creator Lord. ||16||

791 : 2458
Shalok, First Mehl:

791 : 2459
When the lamp is lit, the darkness is dispelled;

791 : 2460
reading the Vedas, sinful intellect is destroyed.

791 : 2461
When the sun rises, the moon is not visible.

791 : 2462
Wherever spiritual wisdom appears, ignorance is dispelled.

791 : 2463
Reading the Vedas is the world's occupation;

791 : 2464
the Pandits read them, study them and contemplate them.

791 : 2465
Without understanding, all are ruined.

791 : 2466
O Nanak, the Gurmukh is carried across. ||1||

791 : 2467
First Mehl:

791 : 2468
Those who do not savor the Word of the Shabad, do not love the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

791 : 2469
They speak insipidly with their tongues, and are continually disgraced.

791 : 2470
O Nanak, they act according to the karma of their past actions, which no one can erase. ||2||

791 : 2471
Pauree:

791 : 2472
One who praises his God, receives honor.

791 : 2473
He drives out egotism from within himself, and enshrines the True Name within his mind.

791 : 2474
Through the True Word of the Guru's Bani, he chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and finds true peace.

791 : 2475
He is united with the Lord, after being separated for so long; the Guru, the Primal Being, unites him with the Lord.

791 : 2476
In this way, his filthy mind is cleansed and purified, and he meditates on the Name of the Lord. ||17||

791 : 2477
Shalok, First Mehl:

791 : 2478
With the fresh leaves of the body, and the flowers of virtue, Nanak has weaved his garland.

791 : 2479
The Lord is pleased with such garlands, so why pick any other flowers? ||1||

791 : 2480
Second Mehl:

791 : 2481
O Nanak, it is the spring season for those, within whose homes their Husband Lord abides.

791 : 2482
But those, whose Husband Lord is far away in distant lands, continue burning, day and night. ||2||

791 : 2483
Pauree:

791 : 2484
The Merciful Lord Himself forgives those who dwell upon the Word of the Guru, the True Guru.

791 : 2485
Night and day, I serve the True Lord, and chant His Glorious Praises; my mind merges into Him.

791 : 2486
My God is infinite; no one knows His limit.

791 : 2487
Grasping hold of the feet of the True Guru, meditate continually on the Lord's Name.

791 : 2488
Thus you shall obtain the fruits of your desires, and all wishes shall be fulfilled within your home. ||18||

791 : 2489
Shalok, First Mehl:

791 : 2490
Spring brings forth the first blossoms, but the Lord blossoms earlier still.

791 : 2491
By His blossoming, everything blossoms; no one else causes Him to blossom forth. ||1||

791 : 2492
Second Mehl:

791 : 2493
He blossoms forth even earlier than the spring; reflect upon Him.

791 : 2494
O Nanak, praise the One who gives Support to all. ||2||

791 : 2495
Second Mehl:

791 : 2496
By uniting, the united one is not united; he unites, only if he is united.

791 : 2497
But if he unites deep within his soul, then he is said to be united. ||3||

791 : 2498
Pauree:

791 : 2499
Praise the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and practice truthful deeds.

791 : 2500
Attached to other deeds, one is consigned to wander in reincarnation.

791 : 2501
Attuned to the Name, one obtains the Name, and through the Name, sings the Lord's Praises.

791 : 2502
Praising the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he merges in the Lord's Name.

791 : 2503
Service to the True Guru is fruitful and rewarding; serving Him, the fruits are obtained. ||19||

791 : 2504
Shalok, Second Mehl:

791 : 2505
Some people have others, but I am forlorn and dishonored; I have only You, Lord.
