He Himself is infinite; He contemplates Himself.

1060 : 3068
He Himself bestows Union through actions of excellence.

1060 : 3069
What can the poor creatures do? Granting forgiveness, He unites them with Himself. ||8||

Through the True Word of the Shabad, he makes them brave spiritual heroes.

1060 : 3072
Uniting them with Himself, He bestows glorious greatness; He inspires them to focus their consciousness on the True Lord. ||9||

1060 : 3073

There is no real chanting, meditation, penance or self-control,

1060 : 3080
as long as one does not live to the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Accepting the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one obtains Truth; through Truth, one merges in the True Lord. ||12||

Sexual desire and anger are very powerful in the world.

1060 : 3083
They lead to all sorts of actions, but these only add to all the pain.

1060 : 3084
Those who serve the True Guru find peace; they are united with the True Shabad. ||13||

1060 : 3085
