Maaroo, First Mehl:

991 : 77
I am Your slave, Your bonded servant, and so I am called fortunate.

991 : 78
I sold myself at Your store in exchange for the Guru's Word; whatever You link me to, to that I am linked. ||1||

991 : 79
What cleverness can Your servant try with You?

991 : 80
O my Lord and Master, I cannot carry out the Hukam of Your Command. ||1||Pause||

991 : 81
My mother is Your slave, and my father is Your slave; I am the child of Your slaves.

991 : 82
My slave mother dances, and my slave father sings; I practice devotional worship to You, O my Sovereign Lord. ||2||

991 : 83
If You wish to drink, then I shall get water for You; if You wish to eat, I shall grind the corn for You.

991 : 84
I wave the fan over You, and wash Your feet, and continue to chant Your Name. ||3||

991 : 85
I have been untrue to myself, but Nanak is Your slave; please forgive him, by Your glorious greatness.

991 : 86
Since the very beginning of time, and throughout the ages, You have been the merciful and generous Lord. Without You, liberation cannot be attained. ||4||6||

991 : 87
Maaroo, First Mehl:

991 : 88
Some call him a ghost; some say that he is a demon.

991 : 89
Some call him a mere mortal; O, poor Nanak! ||1||

991 : 90
Crazy Nanak has gone insane, after his Lord, the King.

991 : 91
I know of none other than the Lord. ||1||Pause||

991 : 92
He alone is known to be insane, when he goes insane with the Fear of God.

991 : 93
He recognizes none other than the One Lord and Master. ||2||

991 : 94
He alone is known to be insane, if he works for the One Lord.

991 : 95
Recognizing the Hukam, the Command of his Lord and Master, what other cleverness is there? ||3||

991 : 96
He alone is known to be insane, when he falls in love with his Lord and Master.

991 : 97
He sees himself as bad, and all the rest of the world as good. ||4||7||

991 : 98
Maaroo, First Mehl:

991 : 99
This wealth is all-pervading, permeating all.

991 : 100
The self-willed manmukh wanders around, thinking that it is far away. ||1||

991 : 101
That commodity, the wealth of the Naam, is within my heart.

991 : 102
Whoever You bless with it, is emancipated. ||1||Pause||

991 : 103
This wealth does not burn; it cannot be stolen by a thief.

991 : 104
This wealth does not drown, and its owner is never punished. ||2||

991 : 105
Gaze upon the glorious greatness of this wealth,

991 : 106
and your nights and days will pass, imbued with celestial peace. ||3||

991 : 107
Listen to this incomparably beautiful story, O my brothers, O Siblings of Destiny.

991 : 108
Tell me, without this wealth, who has ever obtained the supreme status? ||4||

991 : 109
Nanak humbly prays, I proclaim the Unspoken Speech of the Lord.

991 : 110
If one meets the True Guru, then this wealth is obtained. ||5||8||

991 : 111
Maaroo, First Mehl:

991 : 112
Heat up the sun energy of the right nostril, and cool down the moon energy of the left nostril; practicing this breath-control, bring them into perfect balance.

991 : 113
In this way, the fickle fish of the mind will be held steady; the swan-soul shall not fly away, and the body-wall will not crumble. ||1||

991 : 114
You fool, why are you deluded by doubt?

991 : 115
You do not remember the detached Lord of supreme bliss. ||1||Pause||

991 : 116
Seize and burn the unbearable; seize and kill the imperishable; leave behind your doubts, and then, you shall drink in the Nectar.

991 : 117
In this way, the fickle fish of the mind will be held steady; the swan-soul shall not fly away, and the body-wall shall not crumble. ||2||
