O Nanak, Waaho! Waaho! This is obtained by the Gurmukhs, who hold tight to the Naam, night and day. ||1||

Third Mehl:

516 : 962
Without serving the True Guru, peace is not obtained, and the sense of duality does not depart.

516 : 963
No matter how much one may wish, without the Lord's Grace, He is not found.

516 : 964
Those who are filled with greed and corruption are ruined by the love of duality.

516 : 965
They cannot escape birth and death, and with egotism within them, they suffer in misery.

516 : 966
Those who center their consciousness on the True Guru, never go empty-handed.

516 : 967
They are not summoned by the Messenger of Death, and they do not suffer in pain.

516 : 968
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs are saved; they merge in the True Lord. ||2||

516 : 969
Pauree:

He alone is called a minstrel, who enshrines love for his Lord and Master.

516 : 971
Standing at the Lord's Door, he serves the Lord, and reflects upon the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

516 : 972
The minstrel attains the Lord's Gate and Mansion, and he keeps the True Lord clasped to his heart.

516 : 973
The status of the minstrel is exalted; he loves the Name of the Lord.

516 : 974
The service of the minstrel is to meditate on the Lord; he is emancipated by the Lord. ||18||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

516 : 976
The milkmaid's status is very low, but she attains her Husband Lord

516 : 977
when she reflects upon the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and chants the Lord's Name, night and day.

516 : 978
She who meets the True Guru, lives in the Fear of God; she is a woman of noble birth.

516 : 979
She alone realizes the Hukam of her Husband Lord's Command, who is blessed by the Creator Lord's Mercy.

516 : 980
She who is of little merit and ill-mannered, is discarded and forsaken by her Husband Lord.

516 : 981
By the Fear of God, filth is washed off, and the body becomes immaculately pure.

516 : 982
The soul is enlightened, and the intellect is exalted, meditating on the Lord, the ocean of excellence.

516 : 983
One who dwells in the Fear of God, lives in the Fear of God, and acts in the Fear of God.

516 : 984
He obtains peace and glorious greatness here, in the Lord's Court, and at the Gate of Salvation.

516 : 985
Through the Fear of God, the Fearless Lord is obtained, and one's light merges in the Infinite Light.

516 : 986
O Nanak, that bride alone is good, who is pleasing to her Lord and Master, and whom the Creator Lord Himself forgives. ||1||

516 : 987
Third Mehl:

516 : 988
Praise the Lord, forever and ever, and make yourself a sacrifice to the True Lord.

516 : 989
O Nanak, let that tongue be burnt, which renounces the One Lord, and attaches itself to another. ||2||

516 : 990
Pauree:

516 : 991
From a single particle of His greatness, He created His incarnations, but they indulged in the love of duality.

516 : 992
They ruled like kings, and fought for pleasure and pain.

516 : 993
Those who serve Shiva and Brahma do not find the limits of the Lord.

516 : 994
The Fearless, Formless Lord is unseen and invisible; He is revealed only to the Gurmukh.

516 : 995
There, one does not suffer sorrow or separation; he becomes stable and immortal in the world. ||19||

516 : 996
Shalok, Third Mehl:

516 : 997
All these things come and go, all these things of the world.

516 : 998
One who knows this written account is acceptable and approved.

516 : 999
O Nanak, anyone who takes pride in himself is foolish and unwise. ||1||

516 : 1000
Third Mehl:

516 : 1001
The mind is the elephant, the Guru is the elephant-driver, and knowledge is the whip. Wherever the Guru drives the mind, it goes.

516 : 1002
O Nanak, without the whip, the elephant wanders into the wilderness, again and again. ||2||

516 : 1003
Pauree:

516 : 1004
I offer my prayer to the One, from whom I was created.
