116 : 941
The wealth of the self-willed manmukhs is false, and false is their ostentatious display.

116 : 942
They practice falsehood, and suffer terrible pain.

116 : 943
Deluded by doubt, they wander day and night; through birth and death, they lose their lives. ||7||

116 : 944
My True Lord and Master is very dear to me.

116 : 945
The Shabad of the Perfect Guru is my Support.

116 : 946
O Nanak, one who obtains the Greatness of the Naam, looks upon pain and pleasure as one and the same. ||8||10||11||

116 : 947
Maajh, Third Mehl:

116 : 948
The four sources of creation are Yours; the spoken word is Yours.

116 : 949
Without the Name, all are deluded by doubt.

116 : 950
Serving the Guru, the Lord's Name is obtained. Without the True Guru, no one can receive it. ||1||

116 : 951
I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who focus their consciousness on the Lord.

116 : 952
Through devotion to the Guru, the True One is found; He comes to abide in the mind, with intuitive ease. ||1||Pause||

116 : 953
Serving the True Guru, all things are obtained.

116 : 954
As are the desires one harbors, so are the rewards one receives.

116 : 955
The True Guru is the Giver of all things; through perfect destiny, He is met. ||2||

116 : 956
This mind is filthy and polluted; it does not meditate on the One.

116 : 957
Deep within, it is soiled and stained by the love of duality.

116 : 958
The egotists may go on pilgrimages to holy rivers, sacred shrines and foreign lands, but they only gather more of the dirt of egotism. ||3||

116 : 959
Serving the True Guru, filth and pollution are removed.

116 : 960
Those who focus their consciousness on the Lord remain dead while yet alive.

116 : 961
The True Lord is Pure; no filth sticks to Him. Those who are attached to the True One have their filth washed away. ||4||

116 : 962
Without the Guru, there is only pitch darkness.

Continued...

116 : 963
The ignorant ones are blind-there is only utter darkness for them.

116 : 964
The maggots in manure do filthy deeds, and in filth they rot and putrefy. ||5||

116 : 965
Serving the Lord of Liberation, liberation is achieved.

116 : 966
The Word of the Shabad eradicates egotism and possessiveness.

116 : 967
So serve the Dear True Lord, night and day. By perfect good destiny, the Guru is found. ||6||

116 : 968
He Himself forgives and unites in His Union.

116 : 969
From the Perfect Guru, the Treasure of the Naam is obtained.

116 : 970
By the True Name, the mind is made true forever. Serving the True Lord, sorrow is driven out. ||7||

116 : 971
He is always close at hand-do not think that He is far away.

116 : 972
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, recognize the Lord deep within your own being.

116 : 973
O Nanak, through the Naam, glorious greatness is received. Through the Perfect Guru, the Naam is obtained. ||8||11||12||

116 : 974
Maajh, Third Mehl:

116 : 975
Those who are True here, are True hereafter as well.

116 : 976
That mind is true, which is attuned to the True Shabad.

116 : 977
They serve the True One, and practice Truth; they earn Truth, and only Truth. ||1||

116 : 978
I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those whose minds are filled with the True Name.

116 : 979
They serve the True One, and are absorbed into the True One, singing the Glorious Praises of the True One. ||1||Pause||

116 : 980
The Pandits, the religious scholars read, but they do not taste the essence.

116 : 981
In love with duality and Maya, their minds wander, unfocused.

116 : 982
The love of Maya has displaced all their understanding; making mistakes, they live in regret. ||2||

116 : 983
But if they should meet the True Guru, then they obtain the essence of reality;

116 : 984
the Name of the Lord comes to dwell in their minds.
