Fruits of Faith and Naam (the word God) - Guru Nanak

Guru Nanak devoted Pauri 12 to 15 on the fruits of faith. In these Pauris, the word Manne is frequently used. It signifies mind (mun), contemplation (manan), obedience and belief (manne).

The lines Aisa Naam Niranjan Hoye, Je Ko Mann Jane Mann Koye are repeated at the end of pauri 12-15 and signify that the Word is God and is realized only by one's faith. *Niranjan literally means untainted. In this case, it would signify God without any form and attributes.

Manne Ki Gati Kahi Na Jaye
Je Ko Kahe Pichhe Pachtaye
Kagad Kalam Na Likhanhar
Manne Ka Bahi Karani Vichaar

Translation~~

Believers mind cannot be explained
Whoever does try, later repents
No paper, pen, nor the writer
Can sit and reflect on such a mind

Pauri - 13

Manne Surat Hove Man Budh
Manne Sagal Bhawan Ki Sudh
Manne Muhn Chotan Na Kahye
Manne Jum Ke Saath Na Jaye

Translation~~

Belief awakens the mind to higher consciousness
Contemplation unfolds the mysteries of the Cosmos
Obedience wards of all disgrace
Fear of death faith annihilates

Pauri - 14

Manne Marag Thak Na Paye
Manne Pat Siun Pargat Jaye
Manne Mag Na Chale Panth
Manne Dharam Seti Sanbandha

Translation~~

Obedience removes all hindrances from one's course
Gathering honor and distinction one treads on
Un-tempted by misleading ways
On righteous Dharma does one stay

Pauri - 15

Manne Pave Mokh Duar
Manne Parvare Saadhar
Manne Tare Tarey Guru Sikh
Manne Nanak Bhavahi Na Bhikh

Translation~~

Faith takes one to salvation door
Making one's fellow beings find evermore
Liberates oneself, leads other to follow
Says Nanak, no more the obedient begs
