The Ādi Granth, or the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs (1877) · 413

No information is obtained about the heart of the true Guru, what pleases the perfect true Guru.

Within the disciples of the Guru the true Guru dwells; who likes the disciples, he comes into the good graces of the Guru.

(Who) do the work, which the true Guru commands, (who) practise that silent repetition (of the' name), the service of (those) disciples the True one approves.

Who desires, that work should be done by the disciples of the Guru without the order of the true Guru, him the disciple of the Guru does not approach again.

If one put his life before the Guru, the true Guru, before him the disciples of the Guru do work.

Who comes with deceit and goes with deceit, him the disciple of the Guru does by no means approach.

Nanak proclaims the decision of Brahm: who causes a work to be done (by the disciples) without the mind of the true Guru being won over, that creature will incur great pain.

Thou art the true Lord, very great, like thyself thou (only) art great.

Whom thou united (with thyself), he is united with thee, whom thou thyself pardonest, (his) account thou droppest.

Whom thou thyself art uniting (with thyself), he serves the true Guru, his mind becomes firmly fixed.

Thou art the true Lord, thou art true: soul, body, skin, bones, aU is thine.

As it pleases thee, so keep (me), 0 True one! in (my) heart I trust in thee, 0 great one!

To be sung after the tune of the Var of Rae Kamfild! and MojdI.

The man, who mutters the name of Hari, Hari, he is approved of.

I am a sacrifice to that man, by whom is adored the Lord, who enjoys perfect bliss.

(His) pain of regeneration and death is cut ofi', (who) has met with Hari, the all-wise Supreme Spirit.

In the society of the saints he crosses the ocean (of existence), the true one is saved,' (says) humble Nanak.

SM II. Eising early, 0 guest, come to my house!

I wash his feet, who has always in his mind and body love (to Hari). (Who) hears the name, (who) collects the name, (who) devoutly meditates on the name: (His) house and property, all become pure, he sings the excellences of Hari. The name of Hari a very fortunate tralfioker obtains, 0 Nanak!

' TI^T 3T2^- I' is perhaps better to take here 3T^ as p. past. (Sansk. 'WTW) ~ saved; but the words might also be translated: " true (is his) salvation," 31^ being taken as substantive.

SAG GAURf, MAH. V., YAR II.— IV. (XXXV.— XXXTII.) 451

Pauri. "What pleases thee, that is good, true is thy decree. Thou alone art abiding in all, in all thou art contained.

In every place (thou art) continually contained, (thou art) pervading the creatures. Who joins the society of the pious, by him thou art obtained, if he mind the will of the True one. Nanak has fled to the asylum of the Lord, he is continually a sacrifice (to him).

"When I remind thee, then mind it: he is the true Lord and master.

Nanak (says): who serves the true Guru and ascends the boat, he crosses the ■water of existence.

Slok II.; mahala V. The fool in his pride puts on clothes of wind. Nanak (says): they do not go with him, being burnt they become ashes.

Those are saved in the world, who are preserved by Himself.

By seeing the face of those, who have tasted the nectar of Hari, one lives.

Lust, wrath, covetousness, spiritual blindness are devoured in the society of the pious.

By the Lord Hari himself, bestowing his own mercy (on them), they are tested.
