1261 : 265
The lifestyle of the Lord's humble servant is exalted and sublime. He spreads the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises throughout the world. ||3||

1261 : 266
O my Lord and Master, please be merciful, merciful to me, that I may enshrine the Lord, Har, Har, Har, within my heart.

1261 : 267
Nanak has found the Perfect True Guru; in his mind, he chants the Name of the Lord. ||4||9||

1261 : 268
Malaar, Third Mehl, Second House:

1261 : 269
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1261 : 270
Is this mind a householder, or is this mind a detached renunciate?

1261 : 271
Is this mind beyond social class, eternal and unchanging?

1261 : 272
Is this mind fickle, or is this mind detached?

1261 : 273
How has this mind been gripped by possessiveness? ||1||

1261 : 274
O Pandit, O religious scholar, reflect on this in your mind.

1261 : 275
Why do you read so many other things, and carry such a heavy load? ||1||Pause||

1261 : 276
The Creator has attached it to Maya and possessiveness.

1261 : 277
Enforcing His Order, He created the world.

1261 : 278
By Guru's Grace, understand this, O Siblings of Destiny.

1261 : 279
Remain forever in the Sanctuary of the Lord. ||2||

1261 : 280
He alone is a Pandit, who sheds the load of the three qualities.

1261 : 281
Night and day, he chants the Name of the One Lord.

1261 : 282
He accepts the Teachings of the True Guru.

1261 : 283
He offers his head to the True Guru.

1261 : 284
He remains forever unattached in the state of Nirvaanaa.

1261 : 285
Such a Pandit is accepted in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

1261 : 286
He preaches that the One Lord is within all beings.

1261 : 287
As he sees the One Lord, he knows the One Lord.

1261 : 288
That person, whom the Lord forgives, is united with Him.

1261 : 289
He finds eternal peace, here and hereafter. ||4||

1261 : 290
Says Nanak, what can anyone do?

1261 : 291
He alone is liberated, whom the Lord blesses with His Grace.

1261 : 292
Night and day, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

1261 : 293
Then, he no longer bothers with the proclamations of the Shaastras or the Vedas. ||5||1||10||

1261 : 294
Malaar, Third Mehl:

1261 : 295
The self-willed manmukhs wander lost in reincarnation, confused and deluded by doubt.

1261 : 296
The Messenger of Death constantly beats them and disgraces them.

1261 : 297
Serving the True Guru, the mortal's subservience to Death is ended.

1261 : 298
He meets the Lord God, and enters the Mansion of His Presence. ||1||

1261 : 299
O mortal, as Gurmukh, meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

1261 : 300
In duality, you are ruining and wasting this priceless human life. You trade it away in exchange for a shell. ||1||Pause||

1261 : 301
The Gurmukh falls in love with the Lord, by His Grace.

1261 : 302
He enshrines loving devotion to the Lord, Har, Har, deep within his heart.

1261 : 303
The Word of the Shabad carries him across the terrifying world-ocean.

1261 : 304
He appears true in the True Court of the Lord. ||2||

1261 : 305
Performing all sorts of rituals, they do not find the True Guru.

1261 : 306
Without the Guru, so many wander lost and confused in Maya.

1261 : 307
Egotism, possessiveness and attachment rise up and increase within them.

1261 : 308
In the love of dualty, the self-willed manmukhs suffer in pain. ||3||

1261 : 309
The Creator Himself is Inaccessible and Infinite.

1261 : 310
Chant the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and earn the true profit.

1261 : 311
The Lord is Independent, Ever-present, here and now.
