86 : 2841
Follow the Guru's Teachings, and recognize your own self; the Divine Light of the Lord's Name shall shine within.

86 : 2842
The true ones practice Truth; greatness rests in the Great Lord.

86 : 2843
Body, soul and all things belong to the Lord-praise Him, and offer your prayers to Him.

86 : 2844
Sing the Praises of the True Lord through the Word of His Shabad, and you shall abide in the peace of peace.

86 : 2845
You may practice chanting, penance and austere self-discipline within your mind, but without the Name, life is useless.

86 : 2846
Through the Guru's Teachings, the Name is obtained, while the self-willed manmukh wastes away in emotional attachment.

86 : 2847
Please protect me, by the Pleasure of Your Will. Nanak is Your slave. ||2||

86 : 2848
Pauree:

86 : 2849
All are Yours, and You belong to all. You are the wealth of all.

86 : 2850
Everyone begs from You, and all offer prayers to You each day.

86 : 2851
Those, unto whom You give, receive everything. You are far away from some, and You are close to others.

86 : 2852
Without You, there is not even a place to stand begging. See this yourself and verify it in your mind.

86 : 2853
All praise You, O Lord; at Your Door, the Gurmukhs are enlightened. ||9||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

86 : 2855
The Pandits, the religious scholars, read and read, and shout out loud, but they are attached to the love of Maya.

86 : 2856
They do not recognize God within themselves-they are so foolish and ignorant!

86 : 2857
In the love of duality, they try to teach the world, but they do not understand meditative contemplation.

86 : 2858
They lose their lives uselessly; they die, only to be re-born, over and over again. ||1||

86 : 2859
Third Mehl:

86 : 2860
Those who serve the True Guru obtain the Name. Reflect on this and understand.

86 : 2863
O Nanak, attuned to the Shabad, they are liberated. They love their Beloved Lord. ||2||

86 : 2864
Pauree:

86 : 2865
Service to the Lord is fruitful; through it, the Gurmukh is honored and approved.

86 : 2866
That person, with whom the Lord is pleased, meets with the Guru, and meditates on the Name of the Lord.

86 : 2867
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Lord is found. The Lord carries us across.

86 : 2868
Through stubborn-mindedness, none have found Him; go and consult the Vedas on this.

86 : 2869
O Nanak, he alone serves the Lord, whom the Lord attaches to Himself. ||10||

86 : 2870
Shalok, Third Mehl:

86 : 2871
O Nanak, he is a brave warrior, who conquers and subdues his vicious inner ego.

86 : 2872
Praising the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the Gurmukhs redeem their lives.

86 : 2873
They themselves are liberated forever, and they save all their ancestors.

86 : 2874
Those who love the Naam look beauteous at the Gate of Truth.

86 : 2875
The self-willed manmukhs die in egotism-even their death is painfully ugly.

86 : 2876
Everything happens according to the Lord's Will; what can the poor people do?

86 : 2877
Attached to self-conceit and duality, they have forgotten their Lord and Master.

86 : 2878
O Nanak, without the Name, everything is painful, and happiness is forgotten. ||1||

86 : 2879
Third Mehl:

86 : 2880
The Perfect Guru has implanted the Name of the Lord within me. It has dispelled my doubts from within.

86 : 2881
I sing the Lord's Name and the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises; the Divine Light shines, and now I see the Way.

86 : 2882
Conquering my ego, I am lovingly focused on the One Lord; the Naam has come to dwell within me.
