Sorat'h, First Mehl, First House:

Make your mind the farmer, good deeds the farm, modesty the water, and your body the field.

Let the Lord's Name be the seed, contentment the plow, and your humble dress the fence.

Doing deeds of love, the seed shall sprout, and you shall see your home flourish. ||1||

le='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>O Baba, the wealth of Maya does not go with anyone.

This Maya has bewitched the world, but only a rare few understand this. ||Pause||

Make your ever-decreasing life your shop, and make the Lord's Name your merchandise.

Make understanding and contemplation your warehouse, and in that warehouse, store the Lord's Name.

Deal with the Lord's dealers, earn your profits, and rejoice in your mind. ||2||

Let your trade be listening to scripture, and let Truth be the horses you take to sell.

Gather up merits for your travelling expenses, and do not think of tomorrow in your mind.

When you arrive in the land of the Formless Lord, you shall find peace in the Mansion of His Presence. ||3||

Let your service be the focusing of your consciousness, and let your occupation be the placing of faith in the Naam.

Let your work be restraint from sin; only then will people call you blessed.

O Nanak, the Lord shall look upon you with His Glance of Grace, and you shall be blessed with honor four times over. ||4||2||
