I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, I am totally devoted to the True Guru.

110 : 682
Through the Guru's Teachings, the Divine Light has dawned; I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, night and day. ||1||Pause||

Search your body and mind, and find the Name.

110 : 684

Those who do not understand the nature of sin and virtue

110 : 693
are attached to duality; they wander around deluded.

110 : 694
The ignorant and blind people do not know the way; they come and go in reincarnation over and over again. ||5||

110 : 696
my ego has been silenced and subdued.

110 : 697
Through the Guru's Teachings, the darkness has been dispelled, and the heavy doors have been opened. ||6||

110 : 698
Subduing my ego, I have enshrined the Lord within my mind.

I focus my consciousness on the Guru's Feet forever.

110 : 700
By Guru's Grace, my mind and body are immaculate and pure; I meditate on the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||7||

My God is Immaculate, Inaccessible and Infinite.

110 : 706
Without a scale, He weighs the universe.

He Himself hears, and He Himself sees.

110 : 711
Those, upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace, become acceptable.

110 : 712
They are attached, whom the Lord Himself attaches; as Gurmukh, they live the Truth. ||2||

110 : 713
Those whom the Lord Himself misleads-whose hand can they take?

110 : 714
That which is pre-ordained, cannot be erased.

if she subdues her ego, and recognizes the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Her bed is beautiful; she ravishes and enjoys her Husband Lord forever. She is adorned with the Decorations of Truth. ||5||
