788 : 2310
All have grown weary of wandering throughout the four ages, but none know the Lord's worth.

788 : 2311
The True Guru has shown me the One Lord, and my mind and body are at peace.

788 : 2312
The Gurmukh praises the Lord forever; that alone happens, which the Creator Lord does. ||7||

788 : 2313
Shalok, Second Mehl:

788 : 2314
Those who have the Fear of God, have no other fears; those who do not have the Fear of God, are very afraid.

788 : 2315
O Nanak, this mystery is revealed at the Court of the Lord. ||1||

788 : 2316
Second Mehl:

788 : 2317
That which flows, mingles with that which flows; that which blows, mingles with that which blows.

788 : 2318
The living mingle with the living, and the dead mingle with the dead.

788 : 2319
O Nanak, praise the One who created the creation. ||2||

788 : 2320
Pauree:

788 : 2321
Those who meditate on the True Lord are true; they contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

788 : 2322
They subdue their ego, purify their minds, and enshrine the Lord's Name within their hearts.

788 : 2323
The fools are attached to their homes, mansions and balconies.

788 : 2324
The self-willed manmukhs are caught in darkness; they do not know the One who created them.

788 : 2325
He alone understands, whom the True Lord causes to understand; what can the helpless creatures do? ||8||

788 : 2326
Shalok, Third Mehl:

788 : 2327
O bride, decorate yourself, after you surrender and accept your Husband Lord.

788 : 2328
Otherwise, your Husband Lord will not come to your bed, and your ornaments will be useless.

788 : 2329
O bride, your decorations will adorn you, only when your Husband Lord's Mind is pleased.

788 : 2330
Your ornaments will be acceptable and approved, only when your Husband Lord loves you.

788 : 2331
So make the Fear of God your ornaments, joy your betel nuts to chew, and love your food.

788 : 2332
Surrender your body and mind to your Husband Lord, and then, O Nanak, He will enjoy you. ||1||

788 : 2333
Third Mehl:

788 : 2334
The wife takes flowers, and fragrance of betel, and decorates herself.

788 : 2335
But her Husband Lord does not come to her bed, and so these efforts are useless. ||2||

788 : 2336
Third Mehl:

788 : 2337
They are not said to be husband and wife, who merely sit together.

788 : 2338
They alone are called husband and wife, who have one light in two bodies. ||3||

788 : 2339
Pauree:

788 : 2340
Without the Fear of God, there is no devotional worship, and no love for the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

788 : 2341
Meeting with the True Guru, the Fear of God wells up, and one is embellished with the Fear and the Love of God.

788 : 2342
When the body and mind are imbued with the Lord's Love, egotism and desire are conquered and subdued.

788 : 2343
The mind and body become immaculately pure and very beautiful, when one meets the Lord, the Destroyer of ego.

788 : 2344
Fear and love all belong to Him; He is the True Lord, permeating and pervading the Universe. ||9||

788 : 2345
Shalok, First Mehl:

788 : 2346
Waaho! Waaho! You are wonderful and great, O Lord and Master; You created the creation, and made us.

788 : 2347
You made the waters, waves, oceans, pools, plants, clouds and mountains.

788 : 2348
You Yourself stand in the midst of what You Yourself created.

788 : 2349
The selfless service of the Gurmukhs is approved; in celestial peace, they live the essence of reality.

788 : 2350
They receive the wages of their labor, begging at the Door of their Lord and Master.

788 : 2351
O Nanak, the Court of the Lord is overflowing and carefree; O my True Carefree Lord, no one returns empty-handed from Your Court. ||1||

788 : 2352
First Mehl:

788 : 2353
The teeth are like brilliant, beautiful pearls, and the eyes are like sparkling jewels.

788 : 2354
Old age is their enemy, O Nanak; when they grow old, they waste away. ||2||
