128 : 1460
Maajh, Third Mehl:

128 : 1461
The self-willed manmukhs read and recite; they are called Pandits-spiritual scholars.

128 : 1462
But they are in love with duality, and they suffer in terrible pain.

128 : 1463
Intoxicated with vice, they understand nothing at all. They are reincarnated, over and over again. ||1||

128 : 1464
I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who subdue their ego, and unite with the Lord.

128 : 1465
They serve the Guru, and the Lord dwells within their minds; they intuitively drink in the sublime essence of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

128 : 1466
The Pandits read the Vedas, but they do not obtain the Lord's essence.

128 : 1467
Intoxicated with Maya, they argue and debate.

128 : 1468
The foolish intellectuals are forever in spiritual darkness. The Gurmukhs understand, and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||

128 : 1469
The Indescribable is described only through the beauteous Word of the Shabad.

128 : 1470
Through the Guru's Teachings, the Truth becomes pleasing to the mind.

128 : 1471
Those who speak of the truest of the true, day and night-their minds are imbued with the Truth. ||3||

128 : 1472
Those who are attuned to Truth, love the Truth.

128 : 1473
The Lord Himself bestows this gift; He shall not take it back.

128 : 1474
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the True Lord is known forever; meeting the True One, peace is found. ||4||

128 : 1475
The filth of fraud and falsehood does not stick to those who, by Guru's Grace, remain awake and aware, night and day.

128 : 1476
The Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides deep within their hearts; their light merges into the Light. ||5||

128 : 1477
They read about the three qualities, but they do not know the essential reality of the Lord.

128 : 1478
They forget the Primal Lord, the Source of all, and they do not recognize the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

128 : 1479
They are engrossed in emotional attachment; they do not understand anything at all. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Lord is found. ||6||

128 : 1480
The Vedas proclaim that Maya is of three qualities.

Continued...

128 : 1481
The self-willed manmukhs, in love with duality, do not understand.

128 : 1482
They read of the three qualities, but they do not know the One Lord. Without understanding, they obtain only pain and suffering. ||7||

128 : 1483
When it pleases the Lord, He unites us with Himself.

128 : 1484
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, skepticism and suffering are dispelled.

128 : 1485
O Nanak, True is the Greatness of the Name. Believing in the Name, peace is obtained. ||8||30||31||

128 : 1486
Maajh, Third Mehl:

128 : 1487
The Lord Himself is Unmanifest and Unrelated; He is Manifest and Related as well.

128 : 1488
Those who recognize this essential reality are the true Pandits, the spiritual scholars.

128 : 1489
They save themselves, and save all their families and ancestors as well, when they enshrine the Lord's Name in the mind. ||1||

128 : 1490
I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who taste the essence of the Lord, and savor its taste.

128 : 1491
Those who taste this essence of the Lord are the pure, immaculate beings. They meditate on the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

128 : 1492
Those who reflect upon the Shabad are beyond karma.

128 : 1493
They subdue their ego, and find the essence of wisdom, deep within their being.

128 : 1494
They obtain the nine treasures of the wealth of the Naam. Rising above the three qualities, they merge into the Lord. ||2||

128 : 1495
Those who act in ego do not go beyond karma.

128 : 1496
It is only by Guru's Grace that one is rid of ego.

128 : 1497
Those who have discriminating minds, continually examine their own selves. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they sing the Lord's Glorious Praises. ||3||

128 : 1498
The Lord is the most pure and sublime Ocean. The Saintly Gurmukhs continually peck at the Naam, like swans pecking at pearls in the ocean.

128 : 1499
They bathe in it continually, day and night, and the filth of ego is washed away. ||4||

128 : 1500
The pure swans, with love and affection, dwell in the Ocean of the Lord, and subdue their ego.
