(4). If (one's) lot becomes great (and) very high:

He mutters the name, (says) Nanak, in the True one (he becomes) pure.

(1). (I have) a hunger in (my) mind after the name of Hari, Hari. By hearing the name (my) mind is satiated, 0 my brother!

' The sense is apparently: who are not singing liis excellences.

Mutter the name, 0 my fellow-disciple and friend!

Mutter the name! for by the name thou wilt get happiness; keep the name in (thy) mind (and) tliought by means of the instruction of the Guru!

(2). (If) I hear the name, the name, (my) mind is happy.

I am happy having got the advantage of the name by the instruction of the Guru.

(3). "Without the name (I am) leprous, blind (by) infatuation.

All the works, that I have done, are useless, they are pain and trouble.

(4). ("WTio) mutters the praise of Hari, Hari, Hari, his lot is great.

Nanak (says): by the instruction of the Guru he devoutly meditates on the name.

Om! By the favour of the true Guru! RAGU ASA; GEAR YI.; MAHALA IV.

(1). Taking the chord into (thy) hand thou strikest (it), 0 Jogi, (thy) hollow flute sounds.

Utter the excellences of Hari according to the instruction of the Guru, 0 JogT, this (ray) mind is imbued with love to Hari!

0 Jogi, give (me) advice and instruction (regarding) Hari!

Through all ages Hari alone exists, before him I (make) salutation.

(2). (Thou) singest (different) kinds of Rags, thou talkest much, (but) this mind is engaged in play.

The oxen, which thou puttest (to) the well for watering the ground, have risen and gone, having grazed the creepers.

(3). Sow in the city of the body the works (of) Hari! Hari germinates, the field (becomes) green.

The mind (becomes) steady, (if) thou put on the mind (as) bullock, (if) thou sprinkle Hari (as water), (thou art) overcoming (thy mind) by means of the instruction of the Guru.

(4). The Jogi and Jangam, all the creation is thine, I am the disciple of that instruction, which thou givest.

0 Lord of humble Nanak, (thou art) the inward governor, 0 Hari, keep (my) mind in steady equilibrium!

(1). Sometime one beats the chime of the toe-bells, sometime one plays the rebeck. There is a moment's delay between coming and going, I remember so long the name.

In my mind such a devotion has been produced.

1 cannot exist one moment without Hari, like as a fish dies without water.

(2). Sometime one brings together five (or) seven (female) singers, sometime one intonates a Rag. In bringing (them) together and selecting (them) a moment and minute passes, so long my heart sings the excellences of Ram.

(3). Sometime one dances and stretches out the foot, sometime one stretches out the hand. In stretching out hand and foot a moment's delay takes place, so long my heart remembers Ram. (4). Sometime one confides in people, by confiding in people honour (with Hari) is not obtained. Humble Nanak (says): melitate always in thy heart on Hari, then every one says: victory (to thee)!
