The outgoing, wandering soul, upon meeting the True Guru, opens the Tenth Gate.

441 : 4230
There, Ambrosial Nectar is food and the celestial music resounds; the world is held spell-bound by the music of the Word.

441 : 4231
The many strains of the unstruck melody resound there, as one merges in Truth.

441 : 4232
Thus says Nanak: by meeting the True Guru, the wandering soul becomes steady, and comes to dwell in the home of its own self. ||4||

441 : 4233
O my mind, you are the embodiment of the Divine Light - recognize your own origin.

441 : 4234
O my mind, the Dear Lord is with you; through the Guru's Teachings, enjoy His Love.

441 : 4235
Acknowledge your origin, and then you shall know your Husband Lord, and so understand death and birth.

441 : 4236
By Guru's Grace, know the One; then, you shall not love any other.

441 : 4237
Peace comes to the mind, and gladness resounds; then, you shall be acclaimed.

441 : 4238
Thus says Nanak: O my mind, you are the very image of the Luminous Lord; recognize the true origin of your self. ||5||

441 : 4239
O mind, you are so full of pride; loaded with pride, you shall depart.

441 : 4240
The fascinating Maya has fascinated you, over and over again, and lured you into reincarnation.

441 : 4241
Clinging to pride, you shall depart, O foolish mind, and in the end, you shall regret and repent.

441 : 4242
You are afflicted with the diseases of ego and desire, and you are wasting your life away in vain.

441 : 4243
The foolish self-willed manmukh does not remember the Lord, and shall regret and repent hereafter.

441 : 4244
Thus says Nanak: O mind, you are full of pride; loaded with pride, you shall depart. ||6||

441 : 4245
O mind, don't be so proud of yourself, as if you know it all; the Gurmukh is humble and modest.

441 : 4246
Within the intellect are ignorance and ego; through the True Word of the Shabad, this filth is washed off.

441 : 4247
So be humble, and surrender to the True Guru; do not attach your identity to your ego.

441 : 4248
The world is consumed by ego and self-identity; see this, lest you lose your own self as well.

441 : 4249
Make yourself follow the Sweet Will of the True Guru; remain attached to His Sweet Will.

441 : 4250
Thus says Nanak: renounce your ego and self-conceit, and obtain peace; let your mind abide in humility. ||7||

441 : 4251
Blessed is that time, when I met the True Guru, and my Husband Lord came into my consciousness.

441 : 4252
I became so very blissful, and my mind and body found such a natural peace.

441 : 4253
My Husband Lord came into my consciousness; I enshrined Him within my mind, and I renounced all vice.

441 : 4254
When it pleased Him, virtues appeared in me, and the True Guru Himself adorned me.

441 : 4255
Those humble beings become acceptable, who cling to the One Name and renounce the love of duality.

441 : 4256
Thus says Nanak: blessed is the time when I met the True Guru, and my Husband Lord came into my consciousness. ||8||

441 : 4257
Some people wander around, deluded by doubt; their Husband Lord Himself has misled them.

441 : 4258
They wander around in the love of duality, and they do their deeds in ego.

441 : 4259
Their Husband Lord Himself has misled them, and put them on the path of evil. Nothing lies in their power.

441 : 4260
You alone know their ups and downs, You, who created the creation.

441 : 4261
The Command of Your Will is very strict; how rare is the Gurmukh who understands.

441 : 4262
Thus says Nanak: what can the poor creatures do, when You mislead them into doubt? ||9||
