The Guru instructs His wandering Sikhs;

1032 : 1772
if they go astray, He sets them on the right path.

1032 : 1773
So serve the Guru, forever, day and night; He is the Destroyer of pain - He is with you as your companion. ||13||

1032 : 1774
O mortal being, what devotional worship have you performed to the Guru?

1032 : 1775
Even Brahma, Indra and Shiva do not know it.

1032 : 1776
Tell me, how can the unknowable True Guru be known? He alone attains this realization, whom the Lord forgives. ||14||

1032 : 1777
One who has love within, obtains the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.

1032 : 1778
One who enshrines love for the Word of the Guru's Bani, meets with Him.

1032 : 1779
Day and night, the Gurmukh sees the immaculate Divine Light everywhere; this lamp illuminates his heart. ||15||

1032 : 1780
The food of spiritual wisdom is the supremely sweet essence.

1032 : 1781
Whoever tastes it, sees the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan.

1032 : 1782
Beholding His Darshan, the unattached one meets the Lord; subduing the mind's desires, he merges into the Lord. ||16||

1032 : 1783
Those who serve the True Guru are supreme and famous.

1032 : 1784
Deep within each and every heart, they recognize God.

1032 : 1785
Please bless Nanak with the Lord's Praises, and the Sangat, the Congregation of the Lord's humble servants; through the True Guru, they know their Lord God. ||17||5||11||

1032 : 1786
Maaroo, First Mehl:

1032 : 1787
The True Lord is the Creator of the Universe.

1032 : 1788
He established and contemplates the worldly sphere.

1032 : 1789
He Himself created the creation, and beholds it; He is True and independent. ||1||

1032 : 1790
He created the beings of different kinds.

1032 : 1791
The two travellers have set out in two directions.

1032 : 1792
Without the Perfect Guru, no one is liberated. Chanting the True Name, one profits. ||2||

1032 : 1793
The self-willed manmukhs read and study, but they do not know the way.

Continued...

1032 : 1794
They do not understand the Naam, the Name of the Lord; they wander, deluded by doubt.

1032 : 1795
They take bribes, and give false testimony; the noose of evil-mindedness is around their necks. ||3||

1032 : 1796
They read the Simritees, the Shaastras and the Puraanas;

1032 : 1797
they argue and debate, but do not know the essence of reality.

1032 : 1798
Without the Perfect Guru, the essence of reality is not obtained. The true and pure beings walk the Path of Truth. ||4||

1032 : 1799
All praise God and listen, and listen and speak.

1032 : 1800
He Himself is wise, and He Himself judges the Truth.

1032 : 1801
Those whom God blesses with His Glance of Grace become Gurmukh, and praise the Word of the Shabad. ||5||

1032 : 1802
Many listen and listen, and speak the Guru's Bani.

1032 : 1803
Listening and speaking, no one knows His limits.

1032 : 1804
He alone is wise, unto whom the unseen Lord reveals Himself; he speaks the Unspoken Speech. ||6||

1032 : 1805
At birth, the congratulations pour in;

1032 : 1806
the ignorant sing songs of joy.

1032 : 1807
Whoever is born, is sure to die, according to the destiny of past deeds inscribed upon his head by the Sovereign Lord King. ||7||

1032 : 1808
Union and separation were created by my God.

1032 : 1809
Creating the Universe, He gave it pain and pleasure.

1032 : 1810
The Gurmukhs remain unaffected by pain and pleasure; they wear the armor of humility. ||8||

1032 : 1811
The noble people are traders in Truth.

1032 : 1812
They purchase the true merchandise, contemplating the Guru.

1032 : 1813
One who has the wealth of the true commodity in his lap, is blessed with the rapture of the True Shabad. ||9||

1032 : 1814
The false dealings lead only to loss.

1032 : 1815
The trades of the Gurmukh are pleasing to God.

1032 : 1816
His stock is safe, and his capital is safe and sound. The noose of Death is cut away from around his neck. ||10||
