Contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and no other. ||1||

1345 : 771
The One is pervading all places.

1345 : 772
I do not see any other; unto whom should I offer worship? ||1||Pause||

1345 : 773
I place my mind and body in offering before You; I dedicate my soul to You.

1345 : 785
Says Nanak, the Guru has imparted this understanding;

1345 : 786

1345 : 794

1345 : 799
He Himself is the Awareness of Truth; He Himself understands the state of nirvaanaa. ||5||

1345 : 800
He made the waves of water, the fire and the air, and then joined the three together to form the world.

1345 : 801

1345 : 802
How rare are those humble beings in this world, whom the Lord tests and places in His Treasury.

1345 : 803
They rise above social status and color, and rid themselves of possessiveness and greed. ||7||

1345 : 804
Attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, they are like immaculate sacred shrines; they are rid of the pain and pollution of egotism.

1345 : 805
Nanak washes the feet of those who, as Gurmukh, love the True Lord. ||8||7||
