1023 : 1357
I cannot see any other above the True Lord. The True Lord does the appraisal. ||8||

1023 : 1358
In this green pasture, the mortal stays only a few days.

1023 : 1359
He plays and frolics in utter darkness.

1023 : 1360
The jugglers have staged their show, and left, like people mumbling in a dream. ||9||

1023 : 1361
They alone are blessed with glorious greatness at the Lord's throne,

1023 : 1362
who enshrine the fearless Lord in their minds, and lovingly center themselves on Him.

1023 : 1363
In the galaxies and solar systems, nether regions, celestial realms and the three worlds, the Lord is in the primal void of deep absorption. ||10||

1023 : 1364
True is the village, and true is the throne,

1023 : 1365
of those Gurmukhs who meet with the True Lord, and find peace.

1023 : 1366
In Truth, seated upon the true throne, they are blessed with glorious greatness; their egotism is eradicated, along with the calculation of their account. ||11||

1023 : 1367
Calculating its account, the soul becomes anxious.

1023 : 1368
How can one find peace, through duality and the three gunas - the three qualities?

1023 : 1369
The One Lord is immaculate and formless, the Great Giver; through the Perfect Guru, honor is obtained. ||12||

1023 : 1370
In each and every age, very rare are those who, as Gurmukh, realize the Lord.

1023 : 1371
Their minds are imbued with the True, all-pervading Lord.

1023 : 1372
Seeking His Shelter, they find peace, and their minds and bodies are not stained with filth. ||13||

1023 : 1373
Their tongues are imbued with the True Lord, the source of nectar;

1023 : 1374
abiding with the Lord God, they have no fear or doubt.

1023 : 1375
Hearing the Word of the Guru's Bani, their ears are satisfied, and their light merges into the Light. ||14||

1023 : 1376
Carefully, carefully, I place my feet upon the ground.

1023 : 1377
Wherever I go, I behold Your Sanctuary.

1023 : 1378
Whether You grant me pain or pleasure, You are pleasing to my mind. I am in harmony with You. ||15||

1023 : 1379
No one is anyone's companion or helper at the very last moment;

1023 : 1380
as Gurmukh, I realize You and praise You.

1023 : 1381
O Nanak, imbued with the Naam, I am detached; in the home of my own self deep within, I am absorbed in the primal void of deep meditation. ||16||3||

1023 : 1382
Maaroo, First Mehl:

1023 : 1383
From the very beginning of time, and throughout the ages, You are infinite and incomparable.

1023 : 1384
You are my primal, immaculate Lord and Master.

1023 : 1385
I contemplate the Way of Yoga, the Way of Union with the True Lord. I am truly absorbed in the primal void of deep meditation. ||1||

1023 : 1386
For so many ages, there was only pitch darkness;

1023 : 1387
the Creator Lord was absorbed in the primal void.

1023 : 1388
There was the True Name, the glorious greatness of the Truth, and the glory of His true throne. ||2||

1023 : 1389
In the Golden Age of Truth, Truth and contentment filled the bodies.

1023 : 1390
Truth was pervasive, Truth, deep, profound and unfathomable.

1023 : 1391
The True Lord appraises the mortals on the Touchstone of Truth, and issues His True Command. ||3||

1023 : 1392
The Perfect True Guru is true and contented.

1023 : 1393
He alone is a spiritual hero, who believes in the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

1023 : 1394
He alone obtains a true seat in the True Court of the Lord, who surrenders to the Command of the Commander. ||4||

1023 : 1395
In the Golden Age of Truth, everyone spoke the Truth.

1023 : 1396
Truth was pervasive - the Lord was Truth.

1023 : 1397
With Truth in their minds and mouths, mortals were rid of doubt and fear. Truth was the friend of the Gurmukhs. ||5||

1023 : 1398
In the Silver Age of Traytaa Yoga, one power of Dharma was lost.

1023 : 1399
Three feet remained; through duality, one was cut off.

1023 : 1400
Those who were Gurmukh spoke the Truth, while the self-willed manmukhs wasted away in vain. ||6||

1023 : 1401
The manmukh never succeeds in the Court of the Lord.

1023 : 1402
Without the Word of the Shabad, how can one be pleased within?

1023 : 1403
In bondage they come, and in bondage they go; they understand and comprehend nothing. ||7||

1023 : 1404
In the Brass Age of Dwaapur Yuga, compassion was cut in half.
