Ang 560

WADAHANS, THIRD MEHL: The Gurmukh practices true self-discipline, and attains the essence of wisdom. The Gurmukh focuses his meditation on the True One. ||1|| O my mind, become Gurmukh, and remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord. It shall stand by you forever, and go along with you. || Pause|| The True One is the social status and the honor of the Gurmukh. Within the Gurmukh is God, his friend and helper. ||2|| He alone becomes Gurmukh, whom the Lord so blesses. He Himself blesses the Gurmukh with greatness. ||3|| The Gurmukh lives the True Word of the Shabad, and practices good deeds. The Gurmukh, O Nanak, emancipates his family and relations. ||4||6||

WADAHANS, THIRD MEHL: My tongue is intuitively attracted to the taste of the Lord. My mind is satisfied, meditating on the Name of the Lord. ||1|| Lasting peace is obtained, contemplating the True Word of the Shabad. I am forever a sacrifice to my True Guru. ||1|| Pause|| My eyes are content, lovingly focused on the One Lord. My mind is content, having forsaken the love of duality. ||2|| The frame of my body is at peace, through the Shabad, and the Name of the Lord. The fragrance of the Naam permeates my heart. ||3|| O Nanak, one who has such great destiny written upon his forehead, through the Word of the Guru’s Bani, easily and intuitively becomes free of desire. ||4||7||

WADAHANS, THIRD MEHL: From the Perfect Guru, the Naam is obtained. Through the True Word of the Shabad, one merges in the True Lord. ||1|| O my mind, you shall obtain the treasure of the Naam, by submitting to the Will of your Guru. ||1|| Pause|| Through the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, filth is washed away from within. The immaculate Naam comes to abide within the mind. ||2|| Deluded by doubt, the world wanders around. It dies, and is born again, ruined by the Messenger of Death. ||3|| O Nanak, very fortunate are those who meditate on the Name of the Lord. By Guru’s Grace, they enshrine the Name within their minds. ||4||8||

WADAHANS, THIRD MEHL: Egotism is opposed to the Name of the Lord; the two do not dwell in the same place. In egotism, selfless service cannot be performed, and so the mind goes unfulfilled. ||1|| O my mind, think of the Lord, and practice the Word of the Guru’s Shabad. If you submit to the Hukam of the Lord’s Command, you shall meet with the Lord, and then egotism will depart from within. || Pause|| Egotism is within all bodies; through egotism, we come to be born. Egotism is utter darkness; in egotism, no one can understand anything. ||2|| In egotism, devotional worship cannot be performed, and the Hukam of the Lord’s Command cannot be understood. In egotism, the soul is in bondage, and the Naam does not come to abide in the mind. ||3|| O Nanak, meeting with the True Guru, egotism is eliminated, and then, the True One comes to dwell in the mind. Practicing Truth, abiding in Truth, and serving Truth, one is absorbed in the True One. ||4||9||12||

WADAHANS, FOURTH MEHL, FIRST HOUSE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: There is one bed, One God Lord and Master. The Gurmukh enjoys the Lord, the ocean of peace. ||1|| My mind longs to meet my Beloved Lord God. The Perfect Guru leads me to meet my Beloved; I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to my Guru. ||1|| Pause|| My body is overflowing with faults; how can I meet my Perfect Beloved? ||2|| The virtuous ones obtain my Beloved; I do not have these virtues. How can I meet Him, O my mother? ||3|| I am so tired of making all these efforts. Please protect Nanak, the meek one, O my Lord. ||4||1||
