1310 : 576
The True Guru is the Giver of the life of the soul, but the unfortunate ones do not love Him.

1310 : 577
This opportunity shall not come into their hands again; in the end, they will suffer in torment and regret. ||7||

1310 : 578
If a good person seeks goodness for himself, he should bow low in humble surrender to the Guru.

1310 : 579
Nanak prays: please show kindness and compassion to me, O my Lord and Master, that I may apply the dust of the True Guru to my forehead. ||8||3||

Kaanraa, Fourth Mehl:

1310 : 581
O mind, be attuned to His Love, and sing.

1310 : 582
The Fear of God makes me fearless and immaculate; I am dyed in the color of the Guru's Teachings. ||1||Pause||

1310 : 583
Those who are attuned to the Lord's Love remain balanced and detached forever; they live near the Lord, who comes into their house.

1310 : 584
If I am blessed with the dust of their feet, then I live. Granting His Grace, He Himself bestows it. ||1||

1310 : 585
Mortal beings are attached to greed and duality. Their minds are unripe and unfit, and will not accept the Dye of His Love.

1310 : 586
But their lives are transformed through the Word of the Guru's Teachings. Meeting with the Guru, the Primal Being, they are dyed in the color of His Love. ||2||

1310 : 587
There are ten organs of sense and action; the ten wander unrestrained. Under the influence of the three dispositions, they are not stable, even for an instant.

1310 : 588
Coming in contact with the True Guru, they are brought under control; then, salvation and liberation are attained. ||3||

1310 : 589
The One and Only Creator of the Universe is All-pervading everywhere. All shall once again merge into the One.

1310 : 590
His One Form has one, and many colors; He leads all according to His One Word. ||4||

1310 : 591
The Gurmukh realizes the One and Only Lord; He is revealed to the Gurmukh.

1310 : 592
The Gurmukh goes and meets the Lord in His Mansion deep within; the Unstruck Word of the Shabad vibrates there. ||5||

1310 : 593
God created all the beings and creatures of the universe; He blesses the Gurmukh with glory.

1310 : 594
Without meeting the Guru, no one obtains the Mansion of His Presence. They suffer the agony of coming and going in reincarnation. ||6||

1310 : 595
For countless lifetimes, I have been separated from my Beloved; in His Mercy, the Guru has united me with Him.

1310 : 596
Meeting the True Guru, I have found absolute peace, and my polluted intellect blossoms forth. ||7||

1310 : 597
O Lord, Har, Har, please grant Your Grace; O Life of the World, instill faith in the Naam within me.

1310 : 598
Nanak is the Guru, the Guru, the True Guru; I am immersed in the Sanctuary of the True Guru. ||8||4||

1310 : 599
Kaanraa, Fourth Mehl:

1310 : 600
O mind, walk on the Path of the Guru's Teachings.

1310 : 601
Just as the wild elephant is subdued by the prod, the mind is disciplined by the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||Pause||

1310 : 602
The wandering mind wanders, roams and rambles in the ten directions; but the Guru holds it, and lovingly attunes it to the Lord.

1310 : 603
The True Guru implants the Word of the Shabad deep within the heart; the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, trickles into the mouth. ||1||

1310 : 604
The snakes are filled with poisonous venom; the Word of the Guru's Shabad is the antidote - place it in your mouth.

1310 : 605
Maya, the serpent, does not even approach one who is rid of the poison, and lovingly attuned to the Lord. ||2||

1310 : 606
The dog of greed is very powerful in the village of the body; the Guru strikes it and drives it out in an instant.

1310 : 607
Truth, contentment, righteousness and Dharma have settled there; in the village of the Lord, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||
