The tender young plants smell so good,

1185 : 859
while others remain like dry wood.

it blossoms forth luxuriantly. ||1||

Do not wander lost in doubt and delusion.

1185 : 866
One who has such destiny written on his forehead, shall meet with the Guru and find the Lord.

Basant, Fifth Mehl, Second House, Hindol:

1185 : 870
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1185 : 871
Come and join together, O my Siblings of Destiny; dispel your sense of duality and let yourselves be lovingly absorbed in the Lord.

1185 : 872
Let yourselves be joined to the Name of the Lord; become Gurmukh, spread out your mat, and sit down. ||1||

1185 : 873
In this way, throw the dice, O brothers.

1185 : 874
As Gurmukh, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, day and night. At the very last moment, you shall not have to suffer in pain. ||1||Pause||

1185 : 875
Let righteous actions be your gameboard, and let the truth be your dice.

1185 : 876
Conquer sexual desire, anger, greed and worldly attachment; only such a game as this is dear to the Lord. ||2||

1185 : 877
Rise in the early hours of the morning, and take your cleansing bath. Before you go to bed at night, remember to worship the Lord.

1185 : 878
My True Guru will assist you, even on your most difficult moves; you shall reach your true home in celestial peace and poise. ||3||

1185 : 879
The Lord Himself plays, and He Himself watches; the Lord Himself created the creation.

1185 : 880
O servant Nanak, that person who plays this game as Gurmukh, wins the game of life, and returns to his true home. ||4||1||19||

1185 : 881
Basant, Fifth Mehl, Hindol:

1185 : 882
You alone know Your Creative Power, O Lord; no one else knows it.

1185 : 883
He alone realizes You, O my Beloved, unto whom You show Your Mercy. ||1||

1185 : 884
I am a sacrifice to Your devotees.

1185 : 885
Your place is eternally beautiful, God; Your wonders are infinite. ||1||Pause||

1185 : 886
Only You Yourself can perform Your service. No one else can do it.

1185 : 887
He alone is Your devotee, who is pleasing to You. You bless them with Your Love. ||2||
