The Lord's humble servants are imbued with love and affection for God their Beloved; in the delight of devotional worship, they are absorbed in the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.

But those who forsake Him, and beg from another, shall see their mouths, teeth and tongues wear away.

O my foolish mind, meditate in remembrance on the Lord, the Giver of peace. Slave Nanak imparts these teachings. ||7||

The pleasures of Maya shall fade away. In doubt, the mortal falls into the deep dark pit of emotional attachment.

He is so proud, even the sky cannot contain him. His belly is filled with manure, bones and worms.

He runs around in the ten directions, for the sake of the great poison of corruption. He steals the wealth of others, and in the end, he is destroyed by his own ignorance.

His youth passes away, the illnesses of old age seize him, and the Messenger of Death punishes him; such is the death he dies.

He suffers the agony of hell in countless incarnations; he rots away in the pit of pain and condemnation.

O Nanak, those whom the Saint mercifully takes as his own, are carried across by their loving devotional worship. ||8||

All virtues are obtained, all fruits and rewards, and the desires of the mind; my hopes have been totally fulfilled.

The Medicine, the Mantra, the Magic Charm, will cure all illnesses and totally take away all pain.

Section 42 - Swaiyas From The Mouth Of The Great Fifth Mehl - Part 005

Lust, anger, egotism, jealousy and desire are eliminated by chanting the Name of the Lord.

The merits of cleansing baths, charity, penance, purity and good deeds, are obtained by enshrining the Lotus Feet of God within the heart.

The Lord is my Friend, my Very Best Friend, Companion and Relative. God is the Sustenance of the soul, the Support of the breath of life.

I have grasped the Shelter and Support of my All-powerful Lord and Master; slave Nanak is forever a sacrifice to Him. ||9||

Weapons cannot cut that person who delights in the love of the Lord's Lotus Feet.

Ropes cannot bind that person whose mind is pierced through by the Vision of the Lord's Way.

Fire cannot burn that person who is attached to the dust of the feet of the Lord's humble servant.

Water cannot drown that person whose feet walk on the Lord's Path.

O Nanak, diseases, faults, sinful mistakes and emotional attachment are pierced by the Arrow of the Name. ||1||10||

People are engaged in making all sorts of efforts; they contemplate the various aspects of the six Shaastras.

Rubbing ashes all over their bodies, they wander around at the various sacred shrines of pilgrimage; they fast until their bodies are emaciated, and braid their hair into tangled messes.

Without devotional worship of the Lord, they all suffer in pain, caught in the tangled web of their love.
