________________ -1328O my Beloved, Your Worth could only be estimated if something else could be placed on the other side of the scale. || 2 || Out of pain, pleasure is produced, and out of pleasure comes pain. That mouth which praises You - what hunger could that mouth ever suffer? || 3 || O Nanak, you alone are foolish; all the rest of the world is good. That body in which the Naam does not well up - that body becomes miserable. || 4 || 2 || PRABHAATEE, FIRST MEHL: For His sake, Brahma uttered the Vedas, and Shiva renounced Maya. For His sake, the Siddhas became hermits and renunciates; even the gods have not realized His Mystery. || 1 || O Baba, keep the True Lord in your mind, and utter the Name of the True Lord with your mouth; the True Lord will carry you across. Enemies and pain shall not even approach you; only a rare few realize the Wisdom of the Lord. || 1 || Pause || Fire, water and air make up the world; these three are the slaves of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. One who does not chant the Naam is a thief, dwelling in the fortress of the five thieves. || 2 || If someone does a good deed for someone else, he totally puffs himself up in his conscious mind. The Lord bestows so many virtues and so much goodness; He does not ever regret it. || 3 || Those who praise You gather the wealth in their laps; this is Nanak's wealth. Whoever shows respect to them is not summoned by the Messenger of Death. || 4 || 3 || PRABHAATEE, FIRST MEHL: One who has no beauty, no social status, no mouth, no flesh-meeting with the True Guru, he finds the Immaculate Lord, and dwells in Your Name. || 1 || O detached Yogi, contemplate the essence of reality, and you shall never again come to be born into the world. || 1 || Pause || One who does not have good karma or Dharmic faith, sacred rosary or mala - through the Light of God, wisdom is bestowed; the True Guru is our Protector. || 2 || One who does not observe any fasts, make religious vows or chant - he does not have to worry about good luck or bad, if he obeys the Command of the True Guru. || 3 || One who is not hopeful, nor hopeless, who has trained his intuitive consciousness - his being blends with the Supreme Being. O Nanak, his awareness is awakened. || 4 || 4 || PRABHAATEE, FIRST MEHL: What he says is approved in the Court of the Lord. He looks upon poison and nectar as one and the same. || 1 || What can I say? You are permeating and pervading all. Whatever happens, is all by Your Will. || 1 || Pause || The Divine Light shines radiantly, and egotistical pride is dispelled. The True Guru bestows the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord. || 2 || In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, one's birth is approved, if one is honored in the True Court. || 3 || Speaking and listening, one goes to the Celestial Home of the Indescribable Lord. Mere words of mouth, O Nanak, are burnt away. || 4 || 5 || PRABHAATEE, FIRST MEHL: One who bathes in the Ambrosial Water of spiritual wisdom takes with him the virtues of the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage. The Guru's Teachings are the gems and jewels; the Sikh who serves Him searches and finds them. || 1 || There is no sacred shrine equal to the Guru. The Guru encompasses the ocean of contentment.
