ੴ

Dhanaasaree, Third Mehl:

The value and worth of the Lord's Name cannot be described.

Blessed are those humble beings, who lovingly focus their minds on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

True are the Guru's Teachings, and True is contemplative meditation.

God Himself forgives, and bestows contemplative meditation. ||1||

The Lord's Name is wonderful! God Himself imparts it.

In the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Gurmukhs obtain it. ||1||Pause||

We are ignorant; ignorance fills our minds.

We do all our deeds in ego.

By Guru's Grace, egotism is eradicated.

Forgiving us, the Lord blends us with Himself. ||2||

Poisonous wealth gives rise to great arrogance.

Drowning in egotism, no one is honored.

Forsaking self-conceit, one finds lasting peace.

Under Guru's Instruction, he praises the True Lord. ||3||

The Creator Lord Himself fashions all.

Without Him, there is no other at all.

He alone is attached to Truth, whom the Lord Himself so attaches.

O Nanak, through the Naam, lasting peace is attained in the hereafter. ||4||8||
