He is like the crop planted in the salty soil, or the tree growing on the river bank, or the white clothes sprinkled with dirt.

1016 : 1066
This world is the house of desire; whoever enters it, is burnt down by egotistical pride. ||6||

1016 : 1067
Where are all the kings and their subjects? Those who are immersed in duality are destroyed.

1016 : 1068
Says Nanak, these are the steps of the ladder, of the Teachings of the True Guru; only the Unseen Lord shall remain. ||7||3||11||

1016 : 1071
One whose mind is filled with the Lord's Love,

1016 : 1072
is intuitively exalted by the True Word of the Shabad.

1016 : 1073
He alone knows the pain of this love; what does anyone else know about its cure? ||1||

1016 : 1074
He Himself unites in His Union.

1016 : 1075
He Himself inspires us with His Love.

1016 : 1076
He alone appreciates the value of Your Love, upon whom You shower Your Grace, O Lord. ||1||Pause||

1016 : 1077
One whose spiritual vision is awakened - his doubt is driven out.

1016 : 1078
By Guru's Grace, he obtains the supreme status.

1016 : 1079
He alone is a Yogi, who understands this way, and contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||2||

1016 : 1080
By good destiny, the soul-bride is united with her Husband Lord.

1016 : 1081

1016 : 1085
Meeting with the True Guru, evil is conquered, and spiritual wisdom is contemplated. ||4||

1016 : 1086
One who is committed to this most sublime Shabad

1016 : 1087
becomes Gurmukh, and is rid of thirst and hunger.

1016 : 1088
By one's own efforts, nothing can be accomplished; the Lord, in His Mercy, bestows power. ||5||

1016 : 1089
The True Guru has revealed the essence of the Shaastras and the Vedas.

1016 : 1090
In His Mercy, He has come into the home of my self.

1016 : 1091
In the midst of Maya, the Immaculate Lord is known, by those upon whom You bestow Your Grace. ||6||

1016 : 1092
One who becomes Gurmukh, obtains the essence of reality;

1016 : 1093
he eradictes his self-conceit from within.

1016 : 1094
Without the True Guru, all are entangled in worldly affairs; consider this in your mind, and see. ||7||

1016 : 1095
Some are deluded by doubt; they strut around egotistically.

1016 : 1096
Some, as Gurmukh, subdue their egotism.

1016 : 1097
Attuned to the True Word of the Shabad, they remain detached from the world. The other ignorant fools wander, confused and deluded by doubt. ||8||

1016 : 1098
Those who have not become Gurmukh, and who have not found the Naam, the Name of the Lord

1016 : 1099
- those self-willed manmukhs waste their lives uselessly.

1016 : 1100
In the world hereafter, nothing except the Name will be of any assistance; this is understood by contemplating the Guru. ||9||

1016 : 1101
The Ambrosial Naam is the Giver of peace forever.

1016 : 1102
Throughout the four ages, it is known through the Perfect Guru.

1016 : 1103
He alone receives it, unto whom You bestow it; this is the essence of reality which Nanak has realized. ||10||1||
