The devotees look beauteous in the True Court of the Lord; they abide in the True Word of the Shabad.

513 : 840
The Lord's Love wells up in them; they are attracted by the Lord's Love.

513 : 841
They abide in the Lord's Love, they remain imbued with the Lord's Love forever, and with their tongues, they drink in the sublime essence of the Lord.

513 : 842
Fruitful are the lives of those Gurmukhs who recognize the Lord and enshrine Him in their hearts.

513 : 843
Without the Guru, they wander around crying out in misery; in the love of duality, they are ruined. ||11||

In the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the devotees earn the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord; they obtain the supreme status of the Lord.

513 : 846
Serving the True Guru, they enshrine the Lord's Name in their minds, and they meditate on the Naam, night and day.

513 : 847
Within the home of their own selves, they remain unattached, through the Guru's Teachings; they burn away egotism and emotional attachment.

513 : 848
They save themselves, and they save the whole world. Blessed are the mothers who gave birth to them.

513 : 849

Third Mehl:

513 : 852
Beholding Maya with her three dispositions, he goes astray; he is like the moth, which sees the flame, and is consumed.

513 : 853
The mistaken, deluded Pandits gaze upon Maya, and watch to see whether anyone has offered them something.

513 : 854
In the love of duality, they read continually about sin, while the Lord has withheld His Name from them.

513 : 855
The Yogis, the wandering hermits and the Sannyaasees have gone astray; their egotism and arrogance have increased greatly.

They do not accept the true donations of clothes and food, and their lives are ruined by their stubborn minds.

513 : 857
Among these, he alone is a man of poise, who, as Gurmukh, meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

513 : 858
Unto whom should servant Nanak speak and complain? All act as the Lord causes them to act. ||2||

513 : 859
Pauree:

513 : 860
Emotional attachment to Maya, sexual desire, anger and egotism are demons.

513 : 861
Because of them, mortals are subject to death; above their heads hangs the heavy club of the Messenger of Death.

513 : 862
The self-willed manmukhs, in love with duality, are led onto the path of Death.

513 : 863
In the City of Death, they are tied up and beaten, and no one hears their cries.

513 : 864
One who is blessed by the Lord's Grace meets the Guru; as Gurmukh, he is emancipated. ||12||

513 : 865
Shalok, Third Mehl:

513 : 866
By egotism and pride, the self-willed manmukhs are enticed, and consumed.

513 : 867
Those who center their consciousness on duality are caught in it, and remain stuck.

513 : 868
But when it is burnt away by the Word of the Guru's Shabad, only then does it depart from within.

513 : 869

513 : 870
O Nanak, the Lord's Name is the antidote to Maya; the Gurmukh obtains it. ||1||

513 : 871
Third Mehl:

513 : 872
This mind has wandered through so many ages; it has not remained stable - it continues coming and going.

513 : 873
When it is pleasing to the Lord's Will, then He causes the soul to wander; He has set the world-drama in motion.

513 : 874
When the Lord forgives, then one meets the Guru, and becoming stable, he remains absorbed in the Lord.
