In the imperishable realm of the Formless Lord, I play the flute of the unstruck sound current. ||1||

4380
Becoming detached, I sing the Lord's Praises.
973
:
4381
Imbued with the unattached, unstruck Word of the Shabad, I shall go to the home of the Lord, who has no ancestors. ||1||Pause||
973
:
4382
Then, I shall no longer control the breath through the energy channels of the Ida, Pingala and Shushmanaa.
973

I look upon both the moon and the sun as the same, and I shall merge in the Light of God. ||2||

I do not go to see sacred shrines of pilgrimage, or bathe in their waters; I do not bother any beings or creatures.
973
:
4385
The Guru has shown me the sixty-eight places of pilgrimage within my own heart, where I now take my cleansing bath. ||3||

I do not pay attention to anyone praising me, or calling me good and nice.

When there was no mother and no father, no karma and no human body,
973

4397
Someone may practice austerities at Benares, or die upside-down at a sacred shrine ofpilgrimage, or burn his body in fire, or rejuvenate his body to life almost forever;
973
:
4398
he may perform the horse-sacrifice ceremony, or give donations of gold covered over, but none of these is equal to the worship of the Lord's Name. ||1||
973
:
4399
O hypocrite, renounce and abandon your hypocrisy; do not practice deception.
973
:

Constantly, continually, chant the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Someone may go to the Ganges or the Godaavari, or to the Kumbha festival, or bathe at Kaydaar Naat'h, or make donations of thousands of cows at Gomti;
973
:
4402
he may make millions of pilgrimages to sacred shrines, or freeze his body in the Himalayas; still, none of these is equal to the worship of the Lord's Name. ||2||
973

4403
Someone may give away horses and elephants, or women on their beds, or land; he may give such gifts over and over again.
973
:
4404
He may purify his soul, and give away in charity his body weight in gold; none of these is equal to the worship of the Lord's Name. ||3||
973
:
4405
Do not harbor anger in your mind, or blame the Messenger of Death; instead, realize the immaculate state of Nirvaanaa.
973
