905 : 1436
One who takes the Support of the Naam, by Guru's Grace,

905 : 1437
is a rare person, one among millions, incomparable. ||7||

905 : 1438
One is bad, and another good, but the One True Lord is contained in all.

905 : 1439
Understand this, O spiritual teacher, through the support of the True Guru:

905 : 1440
rare indeed is that Gurmukh, who realizes the One Lord.

905 : 1441
His comings and goings cease, and he merges in the Lord. ||8||

905 : 1442
Those who have the One Universal Creator Lord within their hearts,

905 : 1443
possess all virtues; they contemplate the True Lord.

905 : 1444
One who acts in harmony with the Guru's Will,

905 : 1445
O Nanak, is absorbed in the Truest of the True. ||9||4||

905 : 1446
Raamkalee, First Mehl:

905 : 1447
Practicing restraint by Hatha Yoga, the body wears away.

905 : 1448
The mind is not softened by fasting or austerities.

905 : 1449
Nothing else is equal to worship of the Lord's Name. ||1||

905 : 1450
Serve the Guru, O mind, and associate with the humble servants of the Lord.

905 : 1451
The tyrannical Messenger of Death cannot touch you, and the serpent of Maya cannot sting you, when you drink in the sublime essence of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

905 : 1452
The world reads the arguments, and is softened only by music.

905 : 1453
In the three modes and corruption, they are born and die.

905 : 1454
Without the Lord's Name, they endure suffering and pain. ||2||

905 : 1455
The Yogi draws the breath upwards, and opens the Tenth Gate.

905 : 1456
He practices inner cleansing and the six rituals of purification.

905 : 1457
But without the Lord's Name, the breath he draws is useless. ||3||

905 : 1458
The fire of the five passions burns within him; how can he be calm?

905 : 1459
The thief is within him; how can he taste the taste?

905 : 1460
One who becomes Gurmukh conquers the body-fortress. ||4||

905 : 1461
With filth within, he wanders around at places of pilgrimage.

905 : 1462
His mind is not pure, so what is the use of performing ritual cleansings?

Continued...

905 : 1463
He carries the karma of his own past actions; who else can he blame? ||5||

905 : 1464
He does not eat food; he tortures his body.

905 : 1465
Without the Guru's wisdom, he is not satisfied.

905 : 1466
The self-willed manmukh is born only to die, and be born again. ||6||

905 : 1467
Go, and ask the True Guru, and associate with the Lord's humble servants.

905 : 1468
Your mind shall merge into the Lord, and you shall not be reincarnated to die again.

905 : 1469
Without the Lord's Name, what can anyone do? ||7||

905 : 1470
Silence the mouse scurrying around within you.

905 : 1471
Serve the Primal Lord, by chanting the Lord's Name.

905 : 1472
O Nanak, God blesses us with His Name, when He grants His Grace. ||8||5||

905 : 1473
Raamkalee, First Mehl:

905 : 1474
The created Universe emanated from within You; there is no other at all.

905 : 1475
Whatever is said to be, is from You, O God.

905 : 1476
He is the True Lord and Master, throughout the ages.

905 : 1477
Creation and destruction do not come from anyone else. ||1||

905 : 1478
Such is my Lord and Master, profound and unfathomable.

905 : 1479
Whoever meditates on Him, finds peace. The arrow of the Messenger of Death does not strike one who has the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

905 : 1480
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is a priceless jewel, a diamond.

905 : 1481
The True Lord Master is immortal and immeasurable.

905 : 1482
That tongue which chants the True Name is pure.

905 : 1483
The True Lord is in the home of the self; there is no doubt about it. ||2||

905 : 1484
Some sit in the forests, and some make their home in the mountains.

905 : 1485
Forgetting the Naam, they rot away in egotistical pride.

905 : 1486
Without the Naam, what is the use of spiritual wisdom and meditation?

905 : 1487
The Gurmukhs are honored in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

905 : 1488
