The fools perform devotional worship by showing off;

159 : 380
they dance and dance and jump all around, but they only suffer in terrible pain.

159 : 381
By dancing and jumping, devotional worship is not performed.

159 : 382
But one who dies in the Word of the Shabad, obtains devotional worship. ||3||

159 : 383
The Lord is the Lover of His devotees; He inspires them to perform devotional worship.

159 : 384
True devotional worship consists of eliminating selfishness and conceit from within.

159 : 385

Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:

159 : 388
When someone kills and subdues his own mind, his wandering nature is also subdued.

159 : 389
Without such a death, how can one find the Lord?

159 : 390
Only a few know the medicine to kill the mind.

159 : 391
One whose mind dies in the Word of the Shabad, understands Him. ||1||

159 : 392
He grants greatness to those whom He forgives.

159 : 393
By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to dwell within the mind. ||1||Pause||

159 : 394
The Gurmukh practices doing good deeds;

159 : 395
thus he comes to understand this mind.

159 : 396
The mind is like an elephant, drunk with wine.

159 : 397
The Guru is the rod which controls it, and shows it the way. ||2||

159 : 398
The mind is uncontrollable; how rare are those who subdue it.

159 : 399
Those who move the immovable become pure.

159 : 400
The Gurmukhs embellish and beautify this mind.

159 : 401
They eradicate egotism and corruption from within. ||3||

159 : 402
Those who, by pre-ordained destiny, are united in the Lord's Union,

159 : 403
are never separated from Him again; they are absorbed in the Shabad.

159 : 404
He Himself knows His Own Almighty Power.

159 : 405
O Nanak, the Gurmukh realizes the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||5||25||

The mind is distracted by great anxiety; no one recognizes one's own self.

159 : 410
Occupied with their own affairs, their nights and days are passing away. ||1||

159 : 411
Meditate on the Lord in your hearts, O my Siblings of Destiny.

159 : 412
The Gurmukh's tongue savors the sublime essence of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

159 : 413

I am a sacrifice to the Name of the Lord.

159 : 430
If I were to forget You, at that very instant, I would die. ||1||Pause||

Those whom You Yourself have led astray, forget You.
