The Ādi Granth, or the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs (1877) · 446

Nanak (says): he removes from within his own self.

(1). What is done by him, that becomes true (real).

The nectar-name is given by the true Guru.

(In whose) heart is the name, (in his) mind there is no disappointment.

He keeps day by day communion with the beloved.

By the favour of the Guru the juice of Hari is obtained, the blessing and the nine treasures of the name are obtained.

(2). (Whose) actions (are) true (and who has) the true name:

Who are steeped in Hari, those people are excellent.

(3). Blessed is the woman, who has got Hari for her Imsband.

Being in love with Hari she reflects on the word (of the Guru).

She herself crosses and biings her companions and family across.

Serving the true Guru she reflects on truth.

(4). Our caste and fellowship are the true name.

(To whom) he gives, (says) Nanak, (from him) no account is taken.

Some, who are attached to Hari, remain absorbed (in him).

Some find no place on earth (and in) the sky.

They are disregardful of (religious) actions, who do not meditate on the name of Hari.

Ptiuse. From the perfect Guru the knowledge of salvation is obtained.

This world is like poison; Hari ferries across the great water of existence by means of the word of the Guru.

(2). Whom the Lord himself unites (with himself): Them death cannot push on.

' This last line is missing in MS. No. 2484.

Like the lotuses on the water (remain) aloof (from the water).

(3). Say, who shall be called bad (or) good?

Brabm is seen (in all), by the disciple the True one is obtained.

(Who) relates the inexpressible one (and) reilects on the instruction of the Guru:

He joining the society of the Guru gains the other side.

(4). The Shastras, Vedas and Smritis of many kinds (he has read);

Bathing (at) the sixty-eight (Tirthas he has made), (in whose) heart the love of Hari is.'

The disciple is spotless, no filth.sticks (to him).

Nanak (says): in (whose) heart the name is, their lot is great.
