87 : 2883
Following the Guru's Teachings, I cannot be touched by the Messenger of Death. I am absorbed in the True Name.

87 : 2884
The Creator Himself is All-pervading everywhere; He links those with whom He is pleased to His Name.

87 : 2885
Servant Nanak chants the Naam, and so he lives. Without the Name, he would die in an instant. ||2||

87 : 2886
Pauree:

87 : 2887
One who is accepted at the Court of the Lord shall be accepted in courts everywhere.

87 : 2888
Wherever he goes, he is recognized as honorable. Seeing his face, all sinners are saved.

87 : 2889
Within him is the Treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. Through the Naam, he is exalted.

87 : 2890
He worships the Name, and believes in the Name; the Name erases all his sinful mistakes.

87 : 2891
Those who meditate on the Name, with one-pointed mind and focused consciousness, remain forever stable in the world. ||11||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

87 : 2893
Worship the Divine, Supreme Soul, with the intuitive peace and poise of the Guru.

87 : 2894
If the individual soul has faith in the Supreme Soul, then it shall obtain realization within its own home.

87 : 2895
The soul becomes steady, and does not waver, by the natural inclination of the Guru's Loving Will.

87 : 2896
Without the Guru, intuitive wisdom does not come, and the filth of greed does not depart from within.

87 : 2897
If the Lord's Name abides within the mind, for a moment, even for an instant, it is like bathing at all the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

87 : 2898
Filth does not stick to those who are true, but filth attaches itself to those who love duality.

87 : 2899
This filth cannot be washed off, even by bathing at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

87 : 2900
The self-willed manmukh does deeds in egotism; he earns only pain and more pain.

87 : 2901
O Nanak, the filthy ones become clean only when they meet and surrender to the True Guru. ||1||

Third Mehl:

87 : 2903
The self-willed manmukhs may be taught, but how can they really be taught?

87 : 2904
The manmukhs do not fit in at all. Because of their past actions, they are condemned to the cycle of reincarnation.

87 : 2905
Loving attention to the Lord and attachment to Maya are the two separate ways; all act according to the Hukam of the Lord's Command.

87 : 2906
The Gurmukh has conquered his own mind, by applying the Touchstone of the Shabad.

87 : 2907
He fights with his mind, he settles with his mind, and he is at peace with his mind.

87 : 2908
All obtain the desires of their minds, through the Love of the True Word of the Shabad.

87 : 2909
They drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam forever; this is how the Gurmukhs act.

87 : 2910
Those who struggle with something other than their own mind, shall depart having wasted their lives.

87 : 2911
The self-willed manmukhs, through stubborn-mindedness and the practice of falsehood, lose the game of life.

87 : 2912
Those who conquer their own mind, by Guru's Grace, lovingly focus their attention on the Lord.

87 : 2913
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs practice Truth, while the self-willed manmukhs continue coming and going in reincarnation. ||2||

87 : 2914
Pauree:

87 : 2915
O Saints of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny, listen, and hear the Lord's Teachings, through the True Guru.

87 : 2916
Those who have good destiny pre-ordained and inscribed on their foreheads, grasp it and keep it enshrined in the heart.

87 : 2917
Through the Guru's Teachings, they intuitively taste the sublime, exquisite and ambrosial sermon of the Lord.

87 : 2918
The Divine Light shines in their hearts, and like the sun which removes the darkness of night, it dispels the darkness of ignorance.

87 : 2919
As Gurmukh, they behold with their eyes the Unseen, Imperceptible, Unknowable, Immaculate Lord. ||12||
