O Nanak, they alone are wealthy, who are imbued with the Naam; the rest of the world is poor. ||26||
|
The Lord's Name is the Support of the Lord's humble servants. Without the Lord's Name, the there is no other place, no place of rest.
|
Following the Guru's Teachings, the Name abides in the mind, and one is intuitively, automatically absorbed in the Lord.
|
Those with great good fortune meditate on the Naam; night and day, they embrace love for the Name.
|
Servant Nanak begs for the dust of their feet; I am forever a sacrifice to them. ||27||
|
The 8.4 million species of beings burn in desire and cry in pain.
|
All this show of emotional attachment to Maya shall not go with you at that very last instant.
|
Without the Lord, peace and tranquility do not come; unto whom should we go and complain?
|
By great good fortune, one meets the True Guru, and comes to understand the contemplation of God.
|
The fire of desire is totally extinguished, O servant Nanak, enshrining the Lord within the heart. ||28||
|
I make so many mistakes, there is no end or limit to them.
|
O Lord, please be merciful and forgive me; I am a sinner, a great offender.
|
O Dear Lord, if You made an account of my mistakes, my turn to be forgiven would not even come. Please forgive me, and unite me with Yourself.
|
The Guru, in His Pleasure, has united me with the Lord God; He has cut away all my sinful mistakes.
|
Servant Nanak celebrates the victory of those who meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||29||
|
Those who have been separated and alienated from the Lord are united with Him again, through the Fear and the Love of the True Guru.
|
They escape the cycle of birth and death, and, as Gurmukh, they meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
|
Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Guru's Congregation, the diamonds and jewels are obtained.
|
O Nanak, the jewel is priceless; the Gurmukhs seek and find it. ||30||
|
The self-willed manmukhs do not even think of the Naam. Cursed are their lives, and cursed are their homes.
|
That Lord who gives them so much to eat and wear - they do not enshrine that Lord, the Treasure of Virtue, in their minds.
|
This mind is not pierced by the Word of the Shabad; how can it come to dwell in its true home?
|
The self-willed manmukhs are like discarded brides, ruined by coming and going in the cycle of reincarnation.
|
The Gurmukhs are embellished and exalted by the Naam, the Name of the Lord; the jewel of destiny is engraved upon their foreheads.
|
They enshrine the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, within their hearts; the Lord illumines their heart-lotus.
|
I am forever a sacrifice to those who serve their True Guru.
|
O Nanak, radiant and bright are the faces of those whose inner beings are illuminated with the Light of the Naam. ||31||
|
Those who die in the Word of the Shabad are saved. Without the Shabad, no one is liberated.
|
They wear religious robes and perform all sorts of rituals, but they are ruined; in the love of duality, their world is ruined.
|
O Nanak, without the True Guru, the Name is not obtained, even though one may long for it hundreds of times. ||32||
|
The Name of the Lord is utterly great, lofty and high, the highest of the high.
|
No one can climb up to it, even though one may long for it, hundreds of times.
|
Speaking about self-discipline, no one become pure; everyone walks around wearing religious robes.
|
Those blessed by the karma of good deeds go and climb the ladder of the Guru.
|
The Lord comes and dwells within that one who contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
