The Ādi Granth, or the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs (1877) · 315

The intellect of the disciple is displayed (and) the praise of the Lord:

When in (his) heart is contained the abode of the feet (of Hari).

(8). To whom he gives the name, that man gets it.

The disciple, (whom) he unites (with himself), removes his own self {i.f. his individiuility).

(Who) makes the true name dwell in (his) heart:

He is easily absorbed in the True one, (says) Nanak.

(1). By the fear (of Hari) the mind is with natural ease reconciled with the mind.

By the word (of the Guru) the mind is coloured (in love) and applied to devout meditation.

By the favour of the Lord he {i.e. the disciple) dwells in his own house.

Pmtse. By serving the true Guru conceit departs. Govind, the abode of (all) qualities, is obtained.

(2). Whose mind is of subdued passions, he consumes (his) fear by means of the word (of the Guru). My spotless Lord is contained in every one.

By the mercy of the Guru he is met with and unites (to himself). (3). The slave of the slaves of Hari obtains happiness. My Lord Hari is obtained in this wise. By the mercy of Hari the praises of Earn are sung.

(4). Woe to that long life, in which no love to the name of Hari is entertained! Woe to the comfortable bed of the fascinating woman, it is infatuation and affliction! Their life is fruitful, whose support the name is.

(5). Woe, woe to that house and family, in which there is no love to Hari! He, ho is my friend, who sings the excellences of Hari. Without the name of Hari I have none other. (6). From the true Guru I have obtained salvation and honour. The name of Hari is meditated upon (by me), all (my) pain I efface (thereby). I am always joyful and meditate devoutly on the name of Hari. (7). By meeting with the Guru my body has become clean. Egotism and all thirst and fire (of passions) are extinguisbed. Wrath has become extinct, patience is laid hold of. (8). Hari himself bestows mercy and gives the name. Some rare disciple takes the jewel (of the name), (And) sings the excellences of the inapprehensible and impenetrable Hari, (says) Nanak.

EAGU GAUEI BAIRAGANI; MAHALA III. IX. XXVII.

(1). Who turn away their face from the true Guru, they have the appearance of averse and wicked men.

Day by day they arc bound and beaten and do not again get an opportunity (of meeting with the Guru).

EAG GAURI, MAH. IV., ASTPAD. I. (XXVIir.) 337

0 Hari, Hari, bestow mercy (on me) and keep (me)!

Join (me) to the society of the pious, 0 Lord Hari! in (my) heart I remember the excellences of Hari.

(2). Those devotees are pleasing to Hari, who, (having become) disciples, walk in (his) love.

(Who), having given up their own self, serve him, who remain (as) dead whilst living.

(3). Whose the body and soul is, his is the dominion.

How should he be forgotten from (one's) mind? Hari should be kept in the heart!

(4). By the acquisition of the name honour is obtained, by heeding the name happiness springs up.

From the tiiie Guru the name is obtained, by destiny that Lord is found.

(5). Who turn away their face from the true Guru, they are straying about and do not remain stable.

Earth and heaven do not suffer them, they fall into ordure and are consumed (therein).

(6). This world is led astray by error, having fallen into the fraud of spiritual delusion.

With whom the true Guru has fallen in, near them the Maya does not come.
