512 : 798
The Lord, the Giver of peace, shall dwell in your mind, and your egotism and pride shall depart.

512 : 799
O Nanak, when the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace, then, night and day, one centers his meditation on the Lord. ||2||

512 : 800
Pauree:

512 : 801
The Gurmukh is totally truthful, content and pure.

512 : 802
Deception and wickedness have departed from within him, and he easily conquers his mind.

512 : 803
There, the Divine Light and the essence of bliss are manifest, and ignorance is eliminated.

512 : 804
Night and day, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and manifests the excellence of the Lord.

512 : 805
The One Lord is the Giver of all; the Lord alone is our friend. ||9||

512 : 806
Shalok, Third Mehl:

512 : 807
One who understands God, who lovingly centers his mind on the Lord night and day, is called a Brahmin.

512 : 808
Consulting the True Guru, he practices Truth and self-restraint, and he is rid of the disease of ego.

512 : 809
He sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and gathers in His Praises; his light is blended with the Light.

512 : 810
In this world, one who knows God is very rare; eradicating ego, he is absorbed in God.

512 : 811
O Nanak, meeting him, peace is obtained; night and day, he meditates on the Lord's Name. ||1||

512 : 812
Third Mehl:

512 : 813
Within the ignorant self-willed manmukh is deception; with his tongue, he speaks lies.

512 : 814
Practicing deception, he does not please the Lord God, who always sees and hears with natural ease.

512 : 815
In the love of duality, he goes to instruct the world, but he is engrossed in the poison of Maya and attachment to pleasure.

512 : 816
By doing so, he suffers in constant pain; he is born and then dies, and comes and goes again and again.

512 : 817
His doubts do not leave him at all, and he rots away in manure.

512 : 818
One, unto whom my Lord Master shows His Mercy, listens to the Guru's Teachings.

He meditates on the Lord's Name, and sings the Lord's Name; in the end, the Lord's Name will deliver him. ||2||

512 : 820
Pauree:

512 : 821
Those who obey the Hukam of the Lord's Command, are the perfect persons in the world.

512 : 822
They serve their Lord Master, and reflect upon the Perfect Word of the Shabad.

512 : 823
They serve the Lord, and love the True Word of the Shabad.

512 : 824
They attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence, as they eradicate egotism from within.

512 : 825
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs remain united with Him, chanting the Name of the Lord, and enshrining it within their hearts. ||10||

512 : 826
Shalok, Third Mehl:

512 : 827
The Gurmukh meditates on the Lord; the celestial sound-current resounds within him, and he focuses his consciousness on the True Name.

512 : 828
The Gurmukh remains imbued with the Lord's Love, night and day; his mind is pleased with the Name of the Lord.

512 : 829
The Gurmukh beholds the Lord, the Gurmukh speaks of the Lord, and the Gurmukh naturally loves the Lord.

512 : 830
O Nanak, the Gurmukh attains spiritual wisdom, and the pitch-black darkness of ignorance is dispelled.

512 : 831
One who is blessed by the Perfect Lord's Grace - as Gurmukh, he meditates on the Lord's Name. ||1||

512 : 832
Third Mehl:

512 : 833
Those who do not serve the True Guru do not embrace love for the Word of the Shabad.

512 : 834
They do not meditate on the Celestial Naam, the Name of the Lord - why did they even bother to come into the world?

512 : 835
Time and time again, they are reincarnated, and they rot away forever in manure.

512 : 836
They are attached to false greed; they are not on this shore, nor on the one beyond.
