Kabeer, where there is spiritual wisdom, there is righteousness and Dharma. Where there is falsehood, there is sin.

Where there is greed, there is death. Where there is forgiveness, there is God Himself. ||155||

Kabeer, what good is it to give up Maya, if the mortal does not give up his pride?

Even the silent sages and seers are destroyed by pride; pride eats up everything. ||156||

As soon as it struck me, I fell to the ground with a hole in my heart. ||157||

Kabeer, what can the True Guru do, when His Sikhs are at fault?

As soon as an appraiser is found, the price of the jewel is set. ||162||

Kabeer, the mortal dies of his worldly troubles and pain, after worrying about his family.

Whose family is dishonored, when he is placed on the funeral pyre? ||166||

You know that whatever happens to your neighbors, will also happen to you. ||167||

Kabeer, even dry bread, made of various grains, is good.

No one brags about it, throughout the vast country and great empire. ||168||

Kabeer, those who brag, shall burn. Those who do not brag remain carefree.

That humble being who does not brag, looks upon the gods and the poor alike. ||169||
