589 : 1195
The True Guru meets with those upon whose foreheads such blessed destiny is recorded. ||7||

589 : 1196
Shalok, Third Mehl:

589 : 1197
They alone worship the Lord, who remain dead while yet alive; the Gurmukhs worship the Lord continually.

589 : 1198
The Lord blesses them with the treasure of devotional worship, which no one can destroy.

589 : 1199
They obtain the treasure of virtue, the One True Lord, within their minds.

589 : 1200
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs remain united with the Lord; they shall never be separated again. ||1||

589 : 1201
Third Mehl:

589 : 1202
He does not serve the True Guru; how can he reflect upon the Lord?

589 : 1203
He does not appreciate the value of the Shabad; the fool wanders in corruption and sin.

589 : 1204
The blind and ignorant perform all sorts of ritualistic actions; they are in love with duality.

589 : 1205
Those who take unjustified pride in themselves, are punished and humiliated by the Messenger of Death.

589 : 1206
O Nanak, who else is there to ask? The Lord Himself is the Forgiver. ||2||

589 : 1207
Pauree:

589 : 1208
You, O Creator, know all things; all beings belong to You.

589 : 1209
Those who are pleasing to You, You unite with Yourself; what can the poor creatures do?

589 : 1210
You are all-powerful, the Cause of causes, the True Creator Lord.

589 : 1211
Only those unite with you, Beloved Lord, whom you approve and who meditate on Guru's Word.

589 : 1212
I am a sacrifice to my True Guru, who has allowed me to see my unseen Lord. ||8||

589 : 1213
Shalok, Third Mehl:

589 : 1214
He is the Assayer of jewels; He contemplates the jewel.

589 : 1215
He is ignorant and totally blind - he does not appreciate the value of the jewel.

Continued...

589 : 1216
The Jewel is the Word of the Guru's Shabad; the Knower alone knows it.

589 : 1217
The fools take pride in themselves, and are ruined in birth and death.

589 : 1218
O Nanak, he alone obtains the jewel, who, as Gurmukh, enshrines love for it.

589 : 1219
Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, forever and ever, make the Name of the Lord your daily occupation.

589 : 1220
If the Lord shows His Mercy, then I keep Him enshrined within my heart. ||1||

589 : 1221
Third Mehl:

589 : 1222
They do not serve the True Guru, and they do not embrace love for the Lord's Name.

589 : 1223
Do not even think that they are alive - the Creator Lord Himself has killed them.

589 : 1224
Egotism is such a terrible disease; in the love of duality, they do their deeds.

589 : 1225
O Nanak, the self-willed manmukhs are in a living death; forgetting the Lord, they suffer in pain. ||2||

589 : 1226
Pauree:

589 : 1227
Let all bow in reverence, to that humble being whose heart is pure within.

589 : 1228
I am a sacrifice to that humble being whose mind is filled with the treasure of the Naam.

589 : 1229
He has a discriminating intellect; he meditates on the Name of the Lord.

589 : 1230
That True Guru is a friend to all; everyone is dear to Him.

589 : 1231
The Lord, the Supreme Soul, is pervading everywhere; reflect upon the wisdom of the Guru's Teachings. ||9||

589 : 1232
Shalok, Third Mehl:

589 : 1233
Without serving the True Guru, the soul is in the bondage of deeds done in ego.

589 : 1234
Without serving the True Guru, one finds no place of rest; he dies, and is reincarnated, and continues coming and going.

589 : 1235
Without serving the True Guru, one's speech is vapid and insipid; the Naam, the Name of the Lord, does not abide in his mind.
