ੴ

Sorat'h, First Mehl:

The treasure of the Name, for which you have come into the world - that Ambrosial Nectar is with the Guru.

Renounce costumes, disguises and clever tricks; this fruit is not obtained by duplicity. ||1||

O my mind, remain steady, and do not wander away.

By searching around on the outside, you shall only suffer great pain; the Ambrosial Nectar is found within the home of your own being. ||Pause||

Renounce corruption, and seek virtue; committing sins, you shall only come to regret and repent.

You do not know the difference between good and evil; again and again, you sink into the mud. ||2||

Within you is the great filth of greed and falsehood; why do you bother to wash your body on the outside?

Chant the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord always, under Guru's Instruction; only then will your innermost being be emancipated. ||3||

Let greed and slander be far away from you, and renounce falsehood; through the True Word of the Guru's Shabad, you shall obtain the true fruit.

As it pleases You, You preserve me, Dear Lord; servant Nanak sings the Praises of Your Shabad. ||4||9||
