852 : 2338
The Gurmukh beholds and speaks the Naam, the Name of the Lord; chanting the Naam, he finds peace.

852 : 2339
O Nanak, the spiritual wisdom of the Gurmukh shines forth; the black darkness of ignorance is dispelled. ||2||

852 : 2340
Third Mehl:

852 : 2341
The filthy, foolish, self-willed manmukhs die.

852 : 2342
The Gurmukhs are immaculate and pure; they keep the Lord enshrined within their hearts.

852 : 2343
Prays Nanak, listen, O Siblings of Destiny!

852 : 2344
Serve the True Guru, and the filth of your ego shall be gone.

852 : 2345
Deep within, the pain of skepticism afflicts them; their heads are constantly assaulted by worldly entanglements.

852 : 2346
Asleep in the love of duality, they never wake up; they are attached to the love of Maya.

852 : 2347
They do not remember the Name, and they do not contemplate the Word of the Shabad; this is the view of the self-willed manmukhs.

852 : 2348
They do not love the Lord's Name, and they lose their life uselessly. O Nanak, the Messenger of Death attacks them, and humiliates them. ||3||

852 : 2349
Pauree:

852 : 2350
He alone is a true king, whom the Lord blesses with true devotion.

852 : 2351
People pledge their allegiance to him; no other store stocks this merchandise, nor deals in this trade.

852 : 2352
That humble devotee who turns his face towards the Guru and becomes sunmukh, receives the Lord's wealth; the faithless baymukh, who turns his face away from the Guru, gathers only ashes.

852 : 2353
The Lord's devotees are dealers in the Name of the Lord. The Messenger of Death, the tax-collector, does not even approach them.

852 : 2354
Servant Nanak has loaded the wealth of the Name of the Lord, who is forever independent and care-free. ||7||

852 : 2355
Shalok, Third Mehl:

852 : 2356
In this age, the devotee earns the wealth of the Lord; all the rest of the world wanders deluded in doubt.

852 : 2357
By Guru's Grace, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell in his mind; night and day, he meditates on the Naam.

852 : 2358
In the midst of corruption, he remains detached; through the Word of the Shabad, he burns away his ego.

852 : 2359
He crosses over, and saves his relatives as well; blessed is the mother who gave birth to him.

852 : 2360
Peace and poise fill his mind forever, and he embraces love for the True Lord.

852 : 2361
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva wander in the three qualities, while their egotism and desire increase.

852 : 2362
The Pandits, the religious scholars and the silent sages read and debate in confusion; their consciousness is centered on the love of duality.

852 : 2363
The Yogis, wandering pilgrims and Sanyaasees are deluded; without the Guru, they do not find the essence of reality.

852 : 2364
The miserable self-willed manmukhs are forever deluded by doubt; they waste away their lives uselessly.

852 : 2365
O Nanak, those who are imbued with the Naam are balanced and poised; forgiving them, the Lord blends them with Himself. ||1||

852 : 2366
Third Mehl:

852 : 2367
O Nanak, praise Him, who has control over everything.

852 : 2368
Remember Him, O mortals - without Him, there is no other at all.

852 : 2369
He dwells deep within those who are Gurmukh; forever and ever, they are at peace. ||2||

852 : 2370
Pauree:

852 : 2371
Those who do not become Gurmukh and earn the wealth of the Lord's Name, are bankrupt in this age.

852 : 2372
They wander around begging all over the world, but no one even spits in their faces.

852 : 2373
They gossip about others, and lose their credit, and expose themselves as well.

852 : 2374
That wealth, for which they slander others, does not come into their hands, no matter where they go.
