1415 : 192
They do not worship the Lord, the Supreme Soul; how can they find peace in duality?

1415 : 193
They are filled with the filth of egotism; they do not wash it away with the Word of the Shabad.

1415 : 194
O Nanak, without the Name, they die in their filth; they waste the priceless opportunity of this human life. ||20||

1415 : 195
The self-willed manmukhs are deaf and blind; they are filled with the fire of desire.

1415 : 196
They have no intuitive understanding of the Guru's Bani; they are not illumined with the Shabad.

1415 : 197
They do not know their own inner being, and they have no faith in the Guru's Word.

1415 : 198
The Word of the Guru's Shabad is within the being of the spiritually wise ones. They always blossom in His love.

1415 : 199
The Lord saves the honor of the spiritually wise ones.I am forever a sacrifice to them.

1415 : 200
Servant Nanak is the slave of those Gurmukhs who serve the Lord. ||21||

1415 : 201
The poisonous snake, the serpent of Maya, has surrounded the world with its coils, O mother!

1415 : 202
The antidote to this poisonous venom is the Name of the Lord; the Guru places the magic spell of the Shabad into the mouth.

1415 : 203
Those who are blessed with such pre-ordained destiny come and meet the True Guru.

1415 : 204
Meeting with the True Guru, they become immaculate, and the poison of egotism is eradicated.

1415 : 205
Radiant and bright are the faces of the Gurmukhs; they are honored in the Court of the Lord.

1415 : 206
Servant Nanak is forever a sacrifice to those who walk in harmony with the Will of the True Guru. ||22||

1415 : 207
The True Guru, the Primal Being, has no hatred or vengeance. His heart is constantly attuned to the Lord.

1415 : 208
Whoever directs hatred against the Guru, who has no hatred at all, only sets his own home on fire.

1415 : 209
Anger and egotism are within him night and day; he burns, and suffers constant pain.

1415 : 210
They babble and tell lies, and keep on barking, eating the poison of the love of duality.

1415 : 211
For the sake of the poison of Maya, they wander from house to house, and lose their honor.

1415 : 212
They are like the son of a prostitute, who does not know the name of his father.

1415 : 213
They do not remember the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; the Creator Himself brings them to ruin.

1415 : 214
The Lord showers His Mercy upon the Gurmukhs, and reunites the separated ones with Himself.

1415 : 215
Servant Nanak is a sacrifice to those who fall at the Feet of the True Guru. ||23||

1415 : 216
Those who are attached to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are saved; without the Name, they must go to the City of Death.

1415 : 217
O Nanak, without the Name, they find no peace; they come and go in reincarnation with regrets. ||24||

1415 : 218
When anxiety and wanderings come to an end, the mind becomes happy.

1415 : 219
By Guru's Grace, the soul-bride understands, and then she sleeps without worry.

1415 : 220
Those who have such pre-ordained destiny meet with the Guru, the Lord of the Universe.

1415 : 221
O Nanak, they merge intuitively into the Lord, the Embodiment of Supreme Bliss. ||25||

1415 : 222
Those who serve their True Guru, who contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad,

1415 : 223
who honor and obey the Will of the True Guru, who keep the Lord's Name enshrined within their hearts,

1415 : 224
are honored, here and hereafter; they are dedicated to the business of the Lord's Name.

1415 : 225
Through the Word of the Shabad, the Gurmukhs gain recognition in that Court of the True Lord.

1415 : 226
The True Name is their merchandise, the True Name is their expenditure; the Love of their Beloved fills their inner beings.

1415 : 227
The Messenger of Death does not even approach them; the Creator Lord Himself forgives them.
