1344 : 719
Harichand, the king and ruler of his land, did not appreciate the value of his pre-ordained destiny.

The Gurmukh remains detached; filth never attaches itself to him. He remains forever in God's Sanctuary.

Only a few, as Gurmukh, understand this.

1344 : 743
Without the Naam, no one is liberated. ||2||

1344 : 744
People wander lost, staggering and stumbling through 8.4 million incarnations.

1344 : 755
and one lives the lifestyle of true actions. ||5||

1344 : 756
If someone is false within his own self, then how can he be pure?

1344 : 757
How rare are those who wash with the Shabad.

1344 : 758
How rare are those who, as Gurmukh, live the Truth.

Their comings and goings in reincarnation are over and done. ||6||
