When night falls, they enter the land of dreams, and even in dreams, they take care of their corruptions and pains. ||5||

Taking a barren field, they plant falsehood; they shall harvest only falsehood.

The materialistic people shall all remain hungry; the brutal Messenger of Death stands waiting at their door. ||6||

The self-willed manmukh has accumulated a tremendous load of debt in sin; only by contemplating the Word of the Shabad, can this debt be paid off.

As much debt and as many creditors as there are, the Lord makes them into servants, who fall at his feet. ||7||

All the beings which the Lord of the Universe created - He puts the rings through their noses, and leads them all along.

O Nanak, as God drives us on, so do we follow; it is all the Will of the Beloved Lord. ||8||2||

Nat, Fourth Mehl:

The Lord has bathed me in the pool of Ambrosial Nectar.

The spiritual wisdom of the True Guru is the most excellent cleansing bath; bathing in it, all the filthy sins are washed away. ||1||Pause||

The virtues of the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, are so very great. Even the prostitute was saved, by teaching the parrot to speak the Lord's Name.

The mortal speaks and by speaking, makes the people listen; but he does not reflect upon what he himself says.

But when he joins the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, he is confirmed in his faith, and he is saved by the Name of the Lord. ||3||

But when his home and mansion catch fire, then, he wants to dig the well to draw water. ||4||

O mind, do not join with the faithless cynic, who has forgotten the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

The word of the faithless cynic stings like a scorpion; leave the faithless cynic far, far behind. ||5||

Section 23 - Raag Nat Naaraayan - Part 008

Fall in love, fall deeply in love with the Lord; clinging to the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you will be exalted and embellished.

Those who accept the Word of the Guru as True, totally True, are very dear to my Lord and Master. ||6||

Because of actions committed in past lives, one comes to love the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har.

By Guru's Grace, you shall obtain the ambrosial essence; sing of this essence, and reflect upon this essence. ||7||

O Lord, Har, Har, all forms and colors are Yours; O my Beloved, my deep crimson ruby.

Only that color which You impart, Lord, exists; O Nanak, what can the poor wretched being do? ||8||3||
