ੴ

Dhanaasaree, Third Mehl:

Gather in and cherish forever the wealth of the Lord's Name, deep within;

He cherishes and nurtures all beings and creatures.

They alone obtain the treasure of Liberation,

who are lovingly imbued with, and focused on the Lord's Name. ||1||

Serving the Guru, one obtains the wealth of the Lord's Name.

He is illumined and enlightened within, and he meditates on the Lord's Name. ||Pause||

This love for the Lord is like the love of the bride for her husband.

God ravishes and enjoys the soul-bride who is adorned with peace and tranquility.

No one finds God through egotism.

Wandering away from the Primal Lord, the root of all, one wastes his life in vain. ||2||

Tranquility, celestial peace, pleasure and the Word of His Bani come from the Guru.

True is that service, which leads one to merge in the Naam.

Blessed with the Word of the Shabad, he meditates forever on the Lord, the Beloved.

Through the True Name, glorious greatness is obtained. ||3||

The Creator Himself abides throughout the ages.

If He casts His Glance of Grace, then we meet Him.

Through the Word of Gurbani, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind.

O Nanak, God unites with Himself those who are imbued with Truth. ||4||3||
