The entire creation is
in fear; only the Dear Lord is fearless. Serving the True Guru, the Lord
comes to dwell in the mind, and then, fear can never stay there. Enemies
and pain cannot come close, and no one can touch you. The Gurmukh
contemplates God in the mind; whatever pleases God comes to pass. O
Nanak, He Himself preserves one’s honor; He alone resolves our
affairs. || 1 || THIRD MEHL: Some friends are leaving, some have already
left, and those remaining will eventually leave. Those who do not serve
the True Guru, come and go regretting. O Nanak, those who are attuned to
Truth are not separated; serving the True Guru, they merge into the
Lord. || 2 || PAUREE: Meet with that True Guru, the true friend, within
whose mind the virtuous Lord abides. Meet with that Beloved True Guru,
who has subdued egotism from within. Blessed, blessed is that Perfect
True Guru, who has given the Lord’s Teachings to reform the whole
world. O Saints, meditate constantly on the Name of the Lord, and cross
over the terrifying, poisonous world-ocean. The Perfect Guru has taught
me about the Lord; I am forever a sacrifice to the Guru. || 2 ||
