1045 : 2366
The spiritual teachers and meditators proclaim this.

1045 : 2367
He Himself nourishes all; no one else can estimate His value. ||2||

1045 : 2368
Love and attachment to Maya are utter darkness.

1045 : 2369
Egotism and possessiveness have spread throughout the expanse of the universe.

1045 : 2370
Night and day, they burn, day and night; without the Guru, there is no peace or tranquility. ||3||

1045 : 2371
He Himself unites, and He Himself separates.

1045 : 2372
He Himself establishes, and He Himself disestablishes.

1045 : 2373
True is the Hukam of His Command, and True is the expanse of His universe. No one else can issue any Command. ||4||

1045 : 2374
He alone is attached to the Lord, whom the Lord attaches to Himself.

1045 : 2375
By Guru's Grace, the fear of death runs away.

1045 : 2376
The Shabad, the Giver of peace, dwells forever deep within the nucleus of the self. One who is Gurmukh understands. ||5||

1045 : 2377
God Himself unites those united in His Union.

1045 : 2378
Whatever is pre-ordained by destiny, cannot be erased.

1045 : 2379
Night and day, His devotees worship Him, day and night; one who becomes Gurmukh serves Him. ||6||

1045 : 2380
Serving the True Guru, lasting peace is experienced.

1045 : 2381
He Himself, the Giver of all, has come and met me.

1045 : 2382
Subduing egotism, the fire of thirst has been extinguished; contemplating the Word of the Shabad, peace is found. ||7||

1045 : 2383
One who is attached to his body and family, does not understand.

1045 : 2384
But one who becomes Gurmukh, sees the Lord with his eyes.

1045 : 2385
Night and day, he chants the Naam, day and night; meeting with his Beloved, he finds peace. ||8||

1045 : 2386
The self-willed manmukh wanders distracted, attached to duality.

1045 : 2387
That unfortunate wretch - why didn't he just die as soon as he was born?

1045 : 2388
Coming and going, he wastes away his life in vain. Without the Guru, liberation is not obtained. ||9||

1045 : 2389
That body which is stained with the filth of egotism is false and impure.

Continued...

1045 : 2390
It may be washed a hundred times, but its filth is still not removed.

1045 : 2391
But if it is washed with the Word of the Shabad, then it is truly cleansed, and it shall never be soiled again. ||10||

1045 : 2392
The five demons destroy the body.

1045 : 2393
He dies and dies again, only to be reincarnated; he does not contemplate the Shabad.

1045 : 2394
The darkness of emotional attachment to Maya is within his inner being; as if in a dream, he does not understand. ||11||

1045 : 2395
Some conquer the five demons, by being attached to the Shabad.

1045 : 2396
They are blessed and very fortunate; the True Guru comes to meet them.

1045 : 2397
Within the nucleus of their inner being, they dwell upon the Truth; attuned to the Lord's Love, they intuitively merge in Him. ||12||

1045 : 2398
The Guru's Way is known through the Guru.

1045 : 2399
His perfect servant attains realization through the Shabad.

1045 : 2400
Deep within his heart, he dwells forever upon the Shabad; he tastes the sublime essence of the True Lord with his tongue. ||13||

1045 : 2401
Egotism is conquered and subdued by the Shabad.

1045 : 2402
I have enshrined the Name of the Lord within my heart.

1045 : 2403
Other than the One Lord, I know nothing at all. Whatever will be, will automatically be. ||14||

1045 : 2404
Without the True Guru, no one obtains intuitive wisdom.

1045 : 2405
The Gurmukh understands, and is immersed in the True Lord.

1045 : 2406
He serves the True Lord, and is attuned to the True Shabad. The Shabad banishes egotism. ||15||

1045 : 2407
He Himself is the Giver of virtue, the Contemplative Lord.

1045 : 2408
The Gurmukh is given the winning dice.

1045 : 2409
O Nanak, immersed in the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one becomes true; from the True Lord, honor is obtained. ||16||2||

1045 : 2410
Maaroo, Third Mehl:

1045 : 2411
One One True Lord is the Life of the World, the Great Giver.

1045 : 2412
Serving the Guru, through the Word of the Shabad, He is realized.
