Gursikh

Fourth Mehl:

One who calls himself a Sikh of the Guru,

the True Guru,

shall rise in the early morning hours

and meditate on the Lord's Name.

Upon arising early in the morning,

he is to bathe, and cleanse himself in the pool of nectar.

Following the Instructions of the Guru,

he is to chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

All sins, misdeeds and negativity shall be erased.

Then, at the rising of the sun,

he is to sing Gurbani;

whether sitting down or standing up,

he is to meditate on the Lord's Name.

One who meditates on my Lord, Har, Har,

with every breath and every morsel of food -

that GurSikh becomes pleasing to the Guru's Mind.

That person, unto whom my Lord and Master is kind and compassionate -

upon that GurSikh,

the Guru's Teachings are bestowed.

Servant Nanak begs for the dust of the feet of that GurSikh,

who himself chants the Naam, and inspires others to chant it. 2
