No one has ever
found the Lord through stubborn-mindedness. All have grown weary of
performing such actions. Through their stubborn-mindedness, and by
wearing their disguises, they are deluded; they suffer in pain from
the love of duality. Riches and the supernatural spiritual powers of
the Siddhas are all emotional attachments; through them, the Naam, the
Name of the Lord, does not come to dwell in the mind. Serving the
Guru, the mind becomes immaculately pure, and the darkness of
spiritual ignorance is dispelled. The jewel of the Naam is revealed in
the home of one’s own being; O Nanak, one merges in celestial bliss.
|| 1 || THIRD MEHL: One who does not savor the taste of the Shabad,
who does not love the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and who speaks
insipid words with his tongue, is ruined, again and again. O Nanak, he
acts according to the karma of his past actions, which no one can
erase. || 2 || PAUREE: Blessed, blessed is the True Being, my True
Guru; meeting Him, I have found peace. Blessed, blessed is the True
Being, my True Guru; meeting Him, I have attained the Lord’s
devotional worship. Blessed, blessed is the Lord’s devotee, my True
Guru; serving Him, I have come to enshrine love for the Name of the
Lord. Blessed, blessed is the Knower of the Lord, my True Guru; He has
taught me to look upon friend and foe alike. Blessed, blessed is the
True Guru, my best friend; He has led me to embrace love for the Name
of the Lord. || 19 ||
