427 : 3741
O beauteous and joyful mind, imbue yourself with your true color.

427 : 3742
If you imbue yourself with the Beauteous Word of the Guru's Bani, then this color shall never fade away. ||1||Pause||

427 : 3743
I am lowly, filthy, and totally egotistical; I am attached to the corruption of duality.

427 : 3744
But meeting with the Guru, the Philosopher's Stone, I am transformed into gold; I am blended with the Pure Light of the Infinite Lord. ||2||

427 : 3745
Without the Guru, no one is imbued with the color of the Lord's Love; meeting with the Guru, this color is applied.

427 : 3746
Those who are imbued with the Fear, and the Love of the Guru, are absorbed in the Praise of the True Lord. ||3||

427 : 3747
Without fear, the cloth is not dyed, and the mind is not rendered pure.

427 : 3748
Without fear, the performance of rituals is false, and one finds no place of rest. ||4||

427 : 3749
Only those whom the Lord imbues, are so imbued; they join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

427 : 3750
From the Perfect Guru, the Sat Sangat emanates, and one easily merges into the Love of the True One. ||5||

427 : 3751
Without the Sangat, the Company of the Holy, all remain like beasts and animals.

427 : 3752
They do not know the One who created them; without the Name, all are thieves. ||6||

427 : 3753
Some purchase merits and sell off their demerits; through the Guru, they obtain peace and poise.

427 : 3754
Serving the Guru, they obtain the Name, which comes to dwell deep within. ||7||

427 : 3755
The One Lord is the Giver of all; He assigns tasks to each and every person.

427 : 3756
O Nanak, the Lord embellishes us with the Name; attached to the Word of the Shabad, we are merged into Him. ||8||9||31||

427 : 3757
Aasaa, Third Mehl:

427 : 3758
Everyone longs for the Name, but he alone receives it, unto whom the Lord shows His Mercy.

427 : 3759
Without the Name, there is only pain; he alone obtains peace, whose mind is filled with the Name. ||1||

Continued...

427 : 3760
You are infinite and merciful; I seek Your Sanctuary.

427 : 3761
From the Perfect Guru, the glorious greatness of the Naam is obtained. ||1||Pause||

427 : 3762
Inwardly and outwardly, there is only the One Lord. He has created the world, with its many varieties.

427 : 3763
According to the Order of His Will, He makes us act. What else can we talk about, O Siblings of Destiny? ||2||

427 : 3764
Knowledge and ignorance are all your making; You have control over these.

427 : 3765
Some, You forgive, and unite with Yourself; while others, the wicked, you strike down and drive out of Your Court. ||3||

427 : 3766
Some, from the very beginning, are pure and pious; You attach them to Your Name.

427 : 3767
Serving the Guru, peace wells up; through the True Word of the Shabad, one comes to understand. ||4||

427 : 3768
Some are crooked, filthy and vicious; the Lord Himself has led them astray from the Name.

427 : 3769
They have no intuition, no understanding and no self-discipline; they wander around delirious. ||5||

427 : 3770
He grants faith to those whom He has blessed with His Glance of Grace.

427 : 3771
This mind finds truth, contentment and self-discipline, hearing the Immaculate Word of the Shabad. ||6||

427 : 3772
By reading books, one cannot reach Him; by speaking and talking, His limits cannot be found.

427 : 3773
Through the Guru, His value is found; through the True Word of the Shabad, understanding is obtained. ||7||

427 : 3774
So reform this mind and body, by contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

427 : 3775
O Nanak, within this body is the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord; it is found through the Love of the Infinite Guru. ||8||10||32||

427 : 3776
Aasaa, Third Mehl:

427 : 3777
The happy soul-brides are imbued with Truth; they are adorned with the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
