Those who serve the True Guru and remain wakeful, are imbued with the True Name, the treasure of virtue. |
Those who take unjustified pride in themselves, are punished and humiliated by the Messenger of Death. O Nanak, who else is there to ask? |
Those who worship and adore the Lord through the Guru s Word, forget all their pain and suffering. |
Those who worship the Lord with devotion night and day are attuned to His Love, O Nanak, they are absorbed in the True Lord. |
Those whose hearts are forever filled with the Name of the Lord, have the Name of the Lord as their Protector. |
Through the Guru s Instructions, Nanak has found peace, the Forgiving Lord has forgiven him. |
Through their stubborn mindedness, and by wearing their disguises, they are deluded, they suffer in pain from the love of duality. |
Throughout the ages, they are known as wise, who weep, remembering the True One. |
We come into the world naked, into pain and pleasure, according to the record of our account. |
We truly praise the True Lord, when the True Guru imparts understanding. |
Wearing ceremonial robes, the fire is not quenched, and the mind is filled with anxiety. Destroying the snake s hole, the snake is not killed, it is just like doing deeds without a Guru. |
What face will they show, when they go there? They will regret and repent for their sins their actions will bring them only pain and suffering. |
Whatever He has done, has come to pass, how can we command Him? |
Whatever pleases the Almighty Lord that alone comes to pass, this world is an opportunity to please Him. |
Why become friends with those whom the Creator Lord Himself has misled? |
