But if the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, then He Himself embellishes us.
|
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs meditate on the Lord; blessed and approved is their coming into the world. ||63||
|
Yoga is not obtained by wearing saffron robes; Yoga is not obtained by wearing dirty robes.
|
O Nanak, Yoga is obtained even while sitting in your own home, by following the Teachings of the True Guru. ||64||
|
You may wander in all four directions, and read the Vedas throughout the four ages.
|
O Nanak, if you meet with the True Guru, the Lord shall come to dwell within your mind, and you shall find the door of salvation. ||65||
|
O Nanak, the Hukam, the Command of your Lord and Master, is prevailing. The intellectually confused person wanders around lost, misled by his fickle consciousness.
|
If you make friends with the self-willed manmukhs, O friend, who can you ask for peace?
|
Make friends with the Gurmukhs, and focus your consciousness on the True Guru.
|
The root of birth and death will be cut away, and then, you shall find peace, O friend. ||66||
|
The Lord Himself instructs those who are misguided, when He casts His Glance of Grace.
|
O Nanak, those who are not blessed by His Glance of Grace, cry and weep and wail. ||67||

Shalok, Fourth Mehl:
|
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
|
Blessed and very fortunate are those happy soul-brides who, as Gurmukh, meet their Sovereign Lord King.
|
The Light of God shines within them; O Nanak, they are absorbed in the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||
|
Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the True Guru, the Primal Being, who has realized the True Lord.
|
Meeting Him, thirst is quenched, and the body and mind are cooled and soothed.
|
Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the True Guru, the True Primal Being, who looks upon all alike.
|
Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the True Guru, who has no hatred; slander and praise are all the same to Him.
|
Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the All-knowing True Guru, who has realized God within.
|
Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the Formless True Guru, who has no end or limitation.
|
Waaho! Waaho! Blessed and Great is the True Guru, who implants the Truth within.
|
O Nanak, Blessed and Great is the True Guru, through whom the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is received. ||2||
|
For the Gurmukh, the true Song of Praise is to chant the Name of the Lord God.
|
Chanting the Praises of the Lord, their minds are in ecstasy.
|
By great good fortune, they find the Lord, the Embodiment of perfect, supreme bliss.
|
Servant Nanak praises the Naam, the Name of the Lord; no obstacle will block his mind or body. ||3||
|
I am in love with my Beloved; how can I meet my Dear Friend?
|
I seek that friend, who is embellished with Truth.
|
The True Guru is my Friend; if I meet Him, I will offer this mind as a sacrifice to Him.
|
He has shown me my Beloved Lord, my Friend, the Creator.
|
O Nanak, I was searching for my Beloved; the True Guru has shown me that He has been with me all the time. ||4||
|
I stand by the side of the road, waiting for You; O my Friend, I hope that You will come.
|
If only someone would come today and unite me in Union with my Beloved.
