One who does notserve the Guru as Gurmukh, who does not love the Lords Name, and who does not savor the taste of the Shabad, shall die,and be reborn, over and over again. The blind, self-willed manmukh does not think of the Lord; why did he even come into theworld? O Nanak, that Gurmukh, upon whom the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, crosses over the world-ocean. || 1 ||
THIRD MEHL: Only the Guru is awake; the rest of the world is asleep in emotional attachment and desire. Those who serve the TrueGuru and remain wakeful, are imbued with the True Name, the treasure of virtue. The blind, self-willed manmukhs do not think of the Lord; they are ruined through birth and death. O Nanak, the Gurmukhsmeditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; this is their destiny, pre-ordained by the Primal Lord God. || 2 ||
PAUREE:The Lords Name is my food; eating the thirty-six varieties of it, I am satisfied and satiated. The Lords Name is my clothing;wearing it, I shall never be naked again, and my desire to wear other clothing is gone. The Lords Name is my business, theLords Name is my commerce; the True Guru has blessed me with its use. I record the account of the Lords Name, and I shallnot be subject to death again. Only a few, as Gurmukh, meditate on the Lords Name; they are blessed by the Lord, andreceive their pre-ordained destiny. || 17 ||
