25 : 436
As is their awareness, so is their way.

25 : 437
According to the account of our actions, we come and go in reincarnation. ||1||

25 : 438
Why, O soul, do you try such clever tricks?

25 : 439
Taking away and giving back, God does not delay. ||1||Pause||

25 : 440
All beings belong to You; all beings are Yours. O Lord and Master,

25 : 441
how can You become angry with them?

25 : 442
Even if You, O Lord and Master, become angry with them,

25 : 443
still, You are theirs, and they are Yours. ||2||

25 : 444
We are foul-mouthed; we spoil everything with our foul words.

25 : 445
You weigh us in the balance of Your Glance of Grace.

25 : 446
When one's actions are right, the understanding is perfect.

25 : 447
Without good deeds, it becomes more and more deficient. ||3||

25 : 448
Prays Nanak, what is the nature of the spiritual people?

25 : 449
They are self-realized; they understand God.

25 : 450
By Guru's Grace, they contemplate Him;

25 : 451
such spiritual people are honored in His Court. ||4||30||

25 : 452
Siree Raag, First Mehl, Fourth House:

25 : 453
You are the River, All-knowing and All-seeing. I am just a fish-how can I find Your limit?

25 : 454
Wherever I look, You are there. Outside of You, I would burst and die. ||1||

25 : 455
I do not know of the fisherman, and I do not know of the net.

25 : 456
But when the pain comes, then I call upon You. ||1||Pause||

25 : 457
You are present everywhere. I had thought that You were far away.

25 : 458
Whatever I do, I do in Your Presence.

25 : 459
You see all my actions, and yet I deny them.

25 : 460
I have not worked for You, or Your Name. ||2||

25 : 461
Whatever You give me, that is what I eat.

25 : 462
There is no other door-unto which door should I go?

25 : 463
Nanak offers this one prayer:

25 : 464
this body and soul are totally Yours. ||3||

Continued...

25 : 465
He Himself is near, and He Himself is far away; He Himself is in-between.

25 : 466
He Himself beholds, and He Himself listens. By His Creative Power, He created the world.

25 : 467
Whatever pleases Him, O Nanak-that Command is acceptable. ||4||31||

25 : 468
Siree Raag, First Mehl, Fourth House:

25 : 469
Why should the created beings feel pride in their minds?

25 : 470
The Gift is in the Hands of the Great Giver.

25 : 471
As it pleases Him, He may give, or not give.

25 : 472
What can be done by the order of the created beings? ||1||

25 : 473
He Himself is True; Truth is pleasing to His Will.

25 : 474
The spiritually blind are unripe and imperfect, inferior and worthless. ||1||Pause||

25 : 475
The One who owns the trees of the forest and the plants of the garden

25 : 476
-according to their nature, He gives them all their names.

25 : 477
The Flower and the Fruit of the Lord's Love are obtained by pre-ordained destiny.

25 : 478
As we plant, so we harvest and eat. ||2||

25 : 479
The wall of the body is temporary, as is the soul-mason within it.

25 : 480
The flavor of the intellect is bland and insipid without the Salt.

25 : 481
O Nanak, as He wills, He makes things right.

25 : 482
Without the Name, no one is approved. ||3||32||

25 : 483
Siree Raag, First Mehl, Fifth House:

25 : 484
The Undeceiveable is not deceived by deception. He cannot be wounded by any dagger.

25 : 485
As our Lord and Master keeps us, so do we exist. The soul of this greedy person is tossed this way and that. ||1||

25 : 486
Without the oil, how can the lamp be lit? ||1||Pause||

25 : 487
Let the reading of your prayer book be the oil, and let the Fear of God be the wick for the lamp of this body.

25 : 488
Light this lamp with the understanding of Truth. ||2||

25 : 489
Use this oil to light this lamp.

25 : 490
Light it, and meet your Lord and Master. ||1||Pause||

25 : 491
This body is softened with the Word of the Guru's Bani;

25 : 492
you shall find peace, doing seva (selfless service).
