931 : 2430
He is the Architect of Destiny; He blesses us with mind and body.

931 : 2431
That Architect of Destiny is in my mind and mouth.

931 : 2432
God is the Life of the world; there is no other at all.

931 : 2433
O Nanak, imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one is honored. ||9||

931 : 2434
One who lovingly chants the Name of the Sovereign Lord King,

931 : 2435
fights the battle and conquers his own mind;

931 : 2436
day and night, he remains imbued with the Lord's Love.

931 : 2437
He is famous throughout the three worlds and the four ages.

931 : 2438
One who knows the Lord, becomes like Him.

931 : 2439
He becomes absolutely immaculate, and his body is sanctified.

931 : 2440
His heart is happy, in love with the One Lord.

931 : 2441
He lovingly centers his attention deep within upon the True Word of the Shabad. ||10||

931 : 2442
Don't be angry - drink in the Ambrosial Nectar; you shall not remain in this world forever.

931 : 2443
The ruling kings and the paupers shall not remain; they come and go, throughout the four ages.

931 : 2444
Everyone says that they will remain, but none of them remain; unto whom should I offer my prayer?

931 : 2445
The One Shabad, the Name of the Lord, will never fail you; the Guru grants honor and understanding. ||11||

931 : 2446
My shyness and hesitation have died and gone, and I walk with my face unveiled.

931 : 2447
The confusion and doubt from my crazy, insane mother-in-law has been removed from over my head.

931 : 2448
My Beloved has summoned me with joyful caresses; my mind is filled with the bliss of the Shabad.

931 : 2449
Imbued with the Love of my Beloved, I have become Gurmukh, and carefree. ||12||

931 : 2450
Chant the jewel of the Naam, and earn the profit of the Lord.

931 : 2451
Greed, avarice, evil and egotism;

931 : 2452
slander, inuendo and gossip;

931 : 2453
the self-willed manmukh is blind, foolish and ignorant.

931 : 2454
For the sake of earning the profit of the Lord, the mortal comes into the world.

931 : 2455
But he becomes a mere slave laborer, and is mugged by the mugger, Maya.

931 : 2456
One who earns the profit of the Naam, with the capital of faith,

931 : 2457
O Nanak, is truly honored by the True Supreme King. ||13||

931 : 2458
The world is ruined on the path of Death.

931 : 2459
No one has the power to erase Maya's influence.

931 : 2460
If wealth visits the home of the lowliest clown,

931 : 2461
seeing that wealth, all pay their respects to him.

931 : 2462
Even an idiot is thought of as clever, if he is rich.

931 : 2463
Without devotional worship, the world is insane.

931 : 2464
The One Lord is contained among all.

931 : 2465
He reveals Himself, unto those whom He blesses with His Grace. ||14||

931 : 2466
Throughout the ages, the Lord is eternally established; He has no vengeance.

931 : 2467
He is not subject to birth and death; He is not entangled in worldly affairs.

931 : 2468
Whatever is seen, is the Lord Himself.

931 : 2469
Creating Himself, He establishes Himself in the heart.

931 : 2470
He Himself is unfathomable; He links people to their affairs.

931 : 2471
He is the Way of Yoga, the Life of the World.

931 : 2472
Living a righteous lifestyle, true peace is found.

931 : 2473
Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, how can anyone find liberation? ||15||

931 : 2474
Without the Name, even one's own body is an enemy.

931 : 2475
Why not meet the Lord, and take away the pain of your mind?

931 : 2476
The traveller comes and goes along the highway.

931 : 2477
What did he bring when he came, and what will he take away when he goes?

931 : 2478
Without the Name, one loses everywhere.

931 : 2479
The profit is earned, when the Lord grants understanding.

931 : 2480
In merchandise and trade, the merchant is trading.

931 : 2481
Without the Name, how can one find honor and nobility? ||16||

How rare in this world, is the Giver of virtue.

931 : 2485
The True way of life comes through contemplation of the Guru.
