Maaroo, Fourth Mehl, Third House:

996 : 264
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

996 : 265
Take the treasure of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. Follow the Guru's Teachings, and the Lord shall bless you with honor.

996 : 266
Here and hereafter, the Lord goes with you; in the end, He shall deliver you.

996 : 267
Where the path is difficult and the street is narrow, there the Lord shall liberate you. ||1||

996 : 268
O my True Guru, implant within me the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

996 : 269
The Lord is my mother, father, child and relative; I have none other than the Lord, O my mother. ||1||Pause||

996 : 270
I feel the pains of love and yearning for the Lord, and the Name of the Lord. If only someone would come and unite me with Him, O my mother.

996 : 271
I bow in humble devotion to one who inspires me to meet with my Beloved.

996 : 272
The almighty and merciful True Guru unites me with the Lord God instantaneously. ||2||

996 : 273
Those who do not remember the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, are most unfortunate, and are slaughtered.

996 : 274
They wander in reincarnation, again and again; they die, and are re-born, and continue coming and going.

996 : 275
Bound and gagged at Death's Door, they are cruelly beaten, and punished in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

996 : 276
O God, I seek Your Sanctuary; O my Sovereign Lord King, please unite me with Yourself.

996 : 277
O Lord, Life of the World, please shower me with Your Mercy; grant me the Sanctuary of the Guru, the True Guru.

996 : 278
The Dear Lord, becoming merciful, has blended servant Nanak with Himself. ||4||1||3||

996 : 279
Maaroo, Fourth Mehl:

996 : 280
I inquire about the commodity of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Is there anyone who can show me the wealth, the capital of the Lord?

996 : 281
I cut myself into pieces, and make myself a sacrifice to that one who leads me to meet my Lord God.

996 : 282
I am filled with the Love of my Beloved; how can I meet my Friend, and merge with Him? ||1||

996 : 283
O my beloved friend, my mind, I take the wealth, the capital of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

996 : 284
The Perfect Guru has implanted the Naam within me; the Lord is my support - I celebrate the Lord. ||1||Pause||

996 : 285
O my Guru, please unite me with the Lord, Har, Har; show me the wealth, the capital of the Lord.

996 : 286
Without the Guru, love does not well up; see this, and know it in your mind.

996 : 287
The Lord has installed Himself within the Guru; so praise the Guru, who unites us with the Lord. ||2||

996 : 288
The ocean, the treasure of devotional worship of the Lord, rests with the Perfect True Guru.

996 : 289
When it pleases the True Guru, He opens the treasure, and and the Gurmukhs are illuminated by the Lord's Light.

996 : 290
The unfortunate self-willed manmukhs die of thirst, on the very bank of the river. ||3||

996 : 291
The Guru is the Great Giver; I beg for this gift from the Guru,

996 : 292
that He may unite me with God, from whom I was separated for so long! This is the great hope of my mind and body.

996 : 293
If it pleases You, O my Guru, please listen to my prayer; this is servant Nanak's prayer. ||4||2||4||

996 : 294
Maaroo, Fourth Mehl:

996 : 295
O Lord God, please preach Your sermon to me. Through the Guru's Teachings, the Lord is merged into my heart.

996 : 296
Meditate on the sermon of the Lord, Har, Har, O very fortunate ones; the Lord shall bless you with the most sublime status of Nirvaanaa.
