Nanak offers this prayer: O Lord God, please forgive me, and unite me with Yourself. ||41||

1418 : 299
The mortal being does not understand the comings and goings of reincarnation; he does not see the Court of the Lord.

1418 : 300
He is wrapped up in emotional attachment and Maya, and within his being is the darkness of ignorance.

1418 : 301
The sleeping person wakes, only when he is hit on the head by a heavy club.

1418 : 302
The Gurmukhs dwell upon the Lord; they find the door of salvation.

1418 : 303
O Nanak, they themselves are saved, and all their relatives are carried across as well. ||42||

1418 : 304
Whoever dies in the Word of the Shabad, is known to be truly dead.

1418 : 305
By Guru's Grace, the mortal is satisfied by the sublime essence of the Lord.

1418 : 306
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he is recognized in the Court of the Lord.

1418 : 307
Without the Shabad, everyone is dead.

1418 : 308
The self-willed manmukh dies; his life is wasted.

1418 : 309
Those who do not remember the Name of the Lord, shall cry in pain in the end.

1418 : 310
O Nanak, whatever the Creator Lord does, comes to pass. ||43||

1418 : 311
The Gurmukhs never grow old; within them is intuitive understanding and spiritual wisdom.

1418 : 312
They chant the Praises of the Lord, forever and ever; deep within, they intuitively meditate on the Lord.

1418 : 313
They dwell forever in blissful knowledge of the Lord; they look upon pain and pleasure as one and the same.

1418 : 314
They see the One Lord in all, and realize the Lord, the Supreme Soul of all. ||44||

1418 : 315
The self-willed manmukhs are like stupid children; they do not keep the Lord in their thoughts.

1418 : 316
They do all their deeds in egotism, and they must answer to the Righteous Judge of Dharma.

1418 : 317
The Gurmukhs are good and immaculately pure; they are embellished and exalted with the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

1418 : 318
Not even a tiny bit of filth sticks to them; they walk in harmony with the Will of the True Guru.

1418 : 319
The filth of the manmukhs is not washed away, even if they wash hundreds of times.

1418 : 320
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs are united with the Lord; they merge into the Guru's Being. ||45||

1418 : 321
How can someone do bad things, and still live with himself?

1418 : 322
By his own anger, he only burns himself.

1418 : 323
The self-willed manmukh drives himself crazy with worries and stubborn struggles.

1418 : 324
But those who become Gurmukh understand everything.

1418 : 325
O Nanak, the Gurmukh struggles with his own mind. ||46||

1418 : 326
Those who do not serve the True Guru, the Primal Being, and do not reflect upon the Word of the Shabad

1418 : 327
- do not call them human beings; they are just animals and stupid beasts.

1418 : 328
They have no spiritual wisdom or meditation within their beings; they are not in love with the Lord.

1418 : 329
The self-willed manmukhs die in evil and corruption; they die and are reborn, again and again.

1418 : 330
They alone live, who join with the living; enshrine the Lord, the Lord of Life, within your heart.

1418 : 331
O Nanak, the Gurmukhs look beautiful in that Court of the True Lord. ||47||

1418 : 332
The Lord built the Harimandir, the Temple of the Lord; the Lord dwells within it.

1418 : 333
Following the Guru's Teachings, I have found the Lord; my emotional attachment to Maya has been burnt away.

1418 : 334
Countless things are in the Harimandir, the Temple of the Lord; contemplate the Naam, and the nine treasures will be yours.

1418 : 335
Blessed is that happy soul-bride, O Nanak, who, as Gurmukh, seeks and finds the Lord.

1418 : 336
By great good fortune, one searches the temple of the body-fortress, and finds the Lord within the heart. ||48||

1418 : 337
The self-willed manmukhs wander lost in the ten directions, led by intense desire, greed and corruption.
