40 : 1034
Thousands of clever mental tricks have been tried, but still, the raw and undisciplined mind does not absorb the Color of the Lord's Love.

40 : 1035
By falsehood and deception, none have found Him. Whatever you plant, you shall eat. ||3||

40 : 1036
O God, You are the Hope of all. All beings are Yours; You are the Wealth of all.

40 : 1037
O God, none return from You empty-handed; at Your Door, the Gurmukhs are praised and acclaimed.

40 : 1038
In the terrifying world-ocean of poison, people are drowning-please lift them up and save them! This is servant Nanak's humble prayer. ||4||1||65||

40 : 1039
Siree Raag, Fourth Mehl:

40 : 1040
Receiving the Naam, the mind is satisfied; without the Naam, life is cursed.

40 : 1041
If I meet the Gurmukh, my Spiritual Friend, he will show me God, the Treasure of Excellence.

40 : 1042
I am every bit a sacrifice to one who reveals to me the Naam. ||1||

40 : 1043
O my Beloved, I live by meditating on Your Name.

40 : 1044
Without Your Name, my life does not even exist. My True Guru has implanted the Naam within me. ||1||Pause||

40 : 1045
The Naam is a Priceless Jewel; it is with the Perfect True Guru.

40 : 1046
When one is enjoined to serve the True Guru, He brings out this Jewel and bestows this enlightenment.

40 : 1047
Blessed, and most fortunate of the very fortunate, are those who come to meet the Guru. ||2||

40 : 1048
Those who have not met the Primal Being, the True Guru, are most unfortunate, and are subject to death.

40 : 1049
They wander in reincarnation over and over again, as the most disgusting maggots in manure.

40 : 1050
Do not meet with, or even approach those people, whose hearts are filled with horrible anger. ||3||

40 : 1051
The True Guru, the Primal Being, is the Pool of Ambrosial Nectar. The very fortunate ones come to bathe in it.

40 : 1052
The filth of many incarnations is washed away, and the Immaculate Naam is implanted within.

40 : 1053
Servant Nanak has obtained the most exalted state, lovingly attuned to the True Guru. ||4||2||66||

40 : 1054
Siree Raag, Fourth Mehl:

40 : 1055
I sing His Glories, I describe His Glories, I speak of His Glories, O my mother.

40 : 1056
The Gurmukhs, my spiritual friends, bestow virtue. Meeting with my spiritual friends, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

40 : 1057
The Diamond of the Guru has pierced the diamond of my mind, which is now dyed in the deep crimson color of the Name. ||1||

40 : 1058
O my Lord of the Universe, singing Your Glorious Praises, my mind is satisfied.

40 : 1059
Within me is the thirst for the Lord's Name; may the Guru, in His Pleasure, grant it to me. ||1||Pause||

40 : 1060
Let your minds be imbued with His Love, O blessed and fortunate ones. By His Pleasure, the Guru bestows His Gifts.

40 : 1061
The Guru has lovingly implanted the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within me; I am a sacrifice to the True Guru.

40 : 1062
Without the True Guru, the Name of the Lord is not found, even though people may perform hundreds of thousands, even millions of rituals. ||2||

40 : 1063
Without destiny, the True Guru is not found, even though He sits within the home of our own inner being, always near and close at hand.

40 : 1064
There is ignorance within, and the pain of doubt, like a separating screen.

40 : 1065
Without meeting with the True Guru, no one is transformed into gold. The self-willed manmukh sinks like iron, while the boat is very close. ||3||

40 : 1066
The Boat of the True Guru is the Name of the Lord. How can we climb on board?

40 : 1067
One who walks in harmony with the True Guru's Will comes to sit in this Boat.

40 : 1068
Blessed, blessed are those very fortunate ones, O Nanak, who are united with the Lord through the True Guru. ||4||3||67||
