Nanak begs for this blessing from the Merciful Lord, that he may never forget Him, never forget Him. ||21||

1356 : 116
I have no power; I do not serve You, and I do not love You, O Supreme Sublime Lord God.

1356 : 117
By Your Grace, Nanak meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Merciful Lord, Har, Har. ||22||

1356 : 118
The Lord feeds and sustains all living beings; He blesses them gifts of restful peace and fine clothes.

1356 : 119
He created the jewel of human life, with all its cleverness and intelligence.

By His Grace, mortals abide in peace and bliss.

O Nanak, meditating in remembrance on the Lord, Har, Har, Haray,

1356 : 122
the mortal is released from attachment to the world. ||23||

1356 : 123
The kings of the earth are eating up the blessings of the good karma of their past lives.

1356 : 124
Those cruel-minded rulers who oppress the people, O Nanak, shall suffer in pain for a very long time. ||24||

1356 : 125
Those who meditate in remembrance on the Lord in their hearts, look upon even pain as God's Grace.

The healthy person is very sick, if he does not remember the Lord, the Embodiment of Mercy. ||25||

To sing the Kirtan of God's Praises is the righteous duty incurred by taking birth in this human body.

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is Ambrosial Nectar, O Nanak. The Saints drink it in, and never have enough of it. ||26||

1356 : 129
The Saints are tolerant and good-natured; friends and enemies are the same to them.

1356 : 130

1356 : 133
Those who join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and chant the Name of the Lord of the Universe - O Nanak, those mortals abide in peace. ||28||

1356 : 134
The Holy people are an invincible army of spiritual warriors; their bodies are protected by the armor of humility.

1356 : 135
Their weapons are the Glorious Praises of the Lord which they chant; their Shelter and Shield is the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

1356 : 136
The horses, chariots and elephants they ride are their way to realize God's Path.

1356 : 137
They walk fearlessly through the armies of their enemies; they attack them with the Kirtan of God's Praises.

1356 : 138
They conquer the entire world, O Nanak, and overpower the five thieves. ||29||

1356 : 139
Misled by evil-mindedness, mortals are engrossed in the mirage of the illusory world, like the passing shade of a tree.

1356 : 140
Emotional attachment to family is false, so Nanak meditates in remembrance on the Name of the Lord, Raam, Raam. ||30||

1356 : 141
I do not possess the treasure of the wisdom of the Vedas, nor do I possess the merits of the Praises of the Naam.

1356 : 144

Chanting this most Sublime Word brings salvation and joy to the eyes. ||32||

1356 : 146
That mortal who lacks the Guru's Mantra - cursed and contaminated is his life.

1356 : 147
