Whatever pleases Him, comes to pass.

Listen, O Bharthari Yogi - Nanak speaks after deliberation;
412
:
3030
the Immaculate Name is my only Support. ||8||1||

3031
Aasaa, First Mehl:
412
:
3032
All meditation, all austerities, and all clever tricks,
412
:
3033
lead one to wander in the wilderness, but he does not find the Path.
412
:
3034
Without understanding, he is not approved;
412
:
3035
without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, ashes are thrown upon one's head. ||1||
412
:
3036
True is the Master; the world comes and goes.
412
:
3037
The mortal is emancipated, as Gurmukh, as the Lord's slave. ||1||Pause||
412
:
3038
The world is bound by its attachments to the many desires.
412
:
3039
Through the Guru's Teachings, some become free of desire.
412
:
3040
Within them is the Naam, and their heart lotus blossoms forth.
412
:
3041
They have no fear of death. ||2||
412
:
3042
The men of the world are conquered by woman; they love the ladies.
412
:
3043
Attached to children and wife, they forget the Naam.
412
:
3044
They waste this human life in vain, and lose the game in the gamble.
412
:
3045
Serving the True Guru is the best occupation. ||3||
412
:
3046
One who speaks egotistically in public,
412
:
3047
never attains liberation within.
412
:
3048
One who burns away his attachment to Maya, by the Word of the Guru's Shabad,
412
:
3049
meditates forever within his heart on the Immaculate Naam. ||4||
412
:
3050
He restrains his wandering mind, and keeps it under control.
412
:
3051
The company of such a Sikh is obtained only by Grace.
412
:
3052
Without the Guru, he goes astray and continues coming and going.
412
:
3053
Bestowing His Mercy, the Lord unites him in Union. ||5||
412
:
3054
I cannot describe the Beauteous Lord.
412
:
3055
I speak the unspoken; I cannot estimate His value.
412
:
3056
All pain and pleasure come by Your Will.
412
:
3057
All pain is eradicated by the True Name. ||6||

:
3058
He plays the instrument without hands, and dances without feet.
412
:
3059
But if he understands the Word of the Shabad, then he shall behold the True Lord.
412
:
3060
With the True Lord within the self, all happiness comes.
412
:
3061
Showering His Mercy, the Preserving Lord preserves him. ||7||
412
:
3062
He understands the three worlds; he eliminates his self-conceit.
412
:
3063
He understands the Bani of the Word, and he is absorbed into the True Lord.
412
:
3064
Contemplating the Shabad, he enshrines love for the One Lord.
412
:
3065
O Nanak, blessed is the Lord, the Embellisher. ||8||2||

Aasaa, First Mehl:
412
:
3067
There are innumerable writings; those who write them take pride in them.
412
:
3068
When one's mind accepts the Truth, he understands, and speaks of it.
412
:
3069
Words, spoken and read again and again, are useless loads.
412
:
3070
There are innumerable writings, but the Infinite Lord remains unwritten. ||1||
412
:
3071
Know that such a True Lord is the One and only.
412
:
3072
Understand that birth and death come according to the Lord's Will. ||1||Pause||
412
:
3073
Because of attachment to Maya, the world is bound by the Messenger of Death.
412
:
3074
These bonds are released when one remembers the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
412
:
3075
The Guru is the Giver of peace; do not look for any other.
412
:
3076
In this world, and the next, He shall stand by you. ||2||
412
:
3077
One who dies in the Word of the Shabad, embraces love for the One Lord.
412
:
3078
One who eats the uneatable, has his doubts dispelled.
412
:
3079
He is Jivan Mukta - liberated while yet alive; the Naam abides in his mind.
412
:
3080
Becoming Gurmukh, he merges into the True Lord. ||3||
412
:
3081
The One who created the earth and the Akaashic ethers of the sky,
412
:
3082
established all; He establishes and disestablishes.
412
:
3083
He Himself is permeating all.
412
:
3084
He does not consult anyone; He Himself forgives. ||4||
412
:
3085
You are the Ocean, over-flowing with jewels and rubies.
412
:
3086
You are immaculate and pure, the true treasure of virtue.
