ikOankaar sat naam karataa purakh nirabhau niravair akaal moorat ajoonee saibha(n) gur prasaadh ||

One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:

ਭਉ ਮੁਚੁ ਭਾਰਾ ਵਡਾ ਤੋਲੁ ॥

bhau much bhaaraa vaddaa tol ||

The Fear of God is overpowering, and so very heavy,

ਮਨ ਮਤਿ ਹਉਲੀ ਬੋਲੇ ਬੋਲੁ ॥

man mat haulee bole bol ||

while the intellect is lightweight, as is the speech one speaks.

ਸਿਰਿ ਧਰਿ ਚਲੀਐ ਸਹੀਐ ਭਾਰੁ ॥

sir dhar chaleeaai saheeaai bhaar ||

So place the Fear of God upon your head, and bear that weight;

ਨਦਰੀ ਕਰਮੀ ਗੁਰ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥੧॥

by the Grace of the Merciful Lord, contemplate the Guru. ||1||

The desire for the worldly drama arises in the intellect,

ਸਹਸ ਸਿਆਣਪ ਪਵੈ ਨ ਤਾਉ ॥

sahas siaanap pavai na taau ||

but even with thousands of clever mental tricks, the heat of the Fear of God does not come into play.

ਨਾਨਕ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਬੋਲਣੁ ਵਾਉ ॥

O Nanak, the speech of the self-willed manmukh is just wind.
