III. 69. satta nam hai sab ten nyara

satta nam hai sab ten nyara
nirgun-sagun shabd-pasaaraa
nirgun beej sagun phal-phoolaa
saakhaa gyaan naam hain moolaa
mool gahenten sab sukh paavye daal-paat mein mool ganvaaven
saayeen milaanee sukh dilaanee
nirgun-sargun bhet mitaanee

The true Name is like none other name!
The distinction of the Conditioned from the Unconditioned is but a word:
The Unconditioned is the seed, the Conditioned is the flower and the fruit.
Knowledge is the branch, and the Name is the root.
Look, and see where the root is: happiness shall be yours when you come to the root.
The root will lead you to the branch, the leaf, the flower, and the fruit:
It is the encounter with the Lord, it is the attainment of bliss, it is the reconciliation of the Conditioned and the Unconditioned.
