But it doesn’t mind, if someone digs it up bit by bit, and applies manure and urine to it. ॥3॥ High and low, bad and good — the comforting canopy of the sky stretches evenly over all. It knows nothing of friend and enemy; all beings are alike to it. ॥4॥ Blazing with its dazzling light, the sun rises, and dispels the darkness. Touching both the pure and the impure, it harbors no hatred to any. ॥5॥ The cool and fragrant wind gently blows upon all places alike. Wherever anything is, it touches it there, and does not hesitate a bit. ॥6॥ Good or bad, whoever comes close to the fire — his cold is taken away. It knows nothing of its own or others’; it is constant in the same quality. ॥7॥ Whoever seeks the Sancuary of the feet of the Sublime Lord — his mind is attuned to the Love of the Beloved. Constantly singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the World, O Nanak, God becomes merciful to us. ॥8॥3॥ MARU, FIFTH MEHL, FOURTH HOUSE, ASHTAPADEES:ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Moonlight, moonlight — in the courtyard of the mind, let the moonlight of God shine down. ॥1॥ Meditation, meditation — sublime is meditation on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ॥2॥ Renunciation, renunciation — noble is the renunciation of sexual desire, anger and greed. ॥3॥ Begging, begging — it is noble to beg for the Lord’s Praise from the Guru. ॥4॥ Vigils, vigils — sublime is the vigil spent singing the Kirtan of the Lord’s Praises. ॥5॥ Attachment, attachment — sublime is the attachment of the mind to the Guru’s Feet. ॥6॥ He alone is blessed with this way of life, upon whose forehead such destiny is recorded. ॥7॥ Says Nanak, everything is sublime and noble, for one who enters the Sanctuary of God. ॥8॥1॥4॥ MARU, FIFTH MEHL: Please come, O please come into the home of my heart, that I may hear with my ears the Lord’s Praises. ॥1॥ Pause॥ With your coming, my soul and body are rejuvenated, and I sing with you the Lord’s Praises. ॥1॥ By the Grace of the Saint, the Lord dwells within the heart, and the love of duality is eradicated. ॥2॥ By the kindness of the devotee, the intellect is enlightened, and pain and evil-mindedness are eradicated. ॥3॥ Beholding the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, one is sanctified, and is no longer consigned to the womb of reincarnation. ॥4॥ The nine treasures, wealth and miraculous spiritual powers are obtained, by one who is pleasing to Your mind. ॥5॥ Without the Saint, I have no place of rest at all; I cannot think of any other place to go. ॥6॥ I am unworthy; no one gives me sanctuary. But in the Society of the Saints, I merge in God. ॥7॥ Says Nanak, the Guru has revealed this miracle; within my mind, I enjoy the Lord, Har, Har. ॥8॥2॥5॥
