Please bless servant Nanak with this one gift, O Lord, that your feet may dwell within my heart forever. || 4 || 3 || GOND, FOURTH MEHL: All the kings, emperors, nobles, lords and chiefs are false and transitory, engrossed in duality – know this well. The eternal Lord is permanent and unchanging; meditate on Him, O my mind, and you shall be approved. || 1 || O my mind, vibrate, and meditate on the Lord's Name, which shall be your defender forever. One who obtains the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, through the Word of the Guru's Teachings — no one else's power is as great as his.

Other than the Lord, no one can kill you or save you; so why do you worry, O my mind? || 1 || Pause || The Creator created the entire universe, and infused His Light into it. The One Lord speaks, and the One Lord causes all to speak.The Perfect Guru has revealed the One Lord. || 2 || The Lord is with you, inside and out; tell me, O mind, how can you hide anything from Him? Serve the Lord open-heartedly, and then, O my mind, you shall find total peace. || 3 || Everything is under His control; He is the greatest of all. O my mind, meditate forever on Him. O Servant Nanak, that Lord is always with you. Meditate forever on your Lord, and He shall emancipate you. || 4 | 5 || GOND, FOURTH MEHL: My mind yearns so deeply for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, like the thirsty man without water. II 1 || My mind is pierced through by the arrow of the Lord's Love. The Lord God knows my anguish, and the pain deep within my mind. || 1 || Pause 11
