That unfortunate wretch - why didn't he just die as soon as he was born?

Coming and going, he wastes away his life in vain. Without the Guru, liberation is not obtained. ||9||

That body which is stained with the filth of egotism is false and impure.

It may be washed a hundred times, but its filth is still not removed.

But if it is washed with the Word of the Shabad, then it is truly cleansed, and it shall never be soiled again. ||10||

The five demons destroy the body.

He dies and dies again, only to be reincarnated; he does not contemplate the Shabad.

The darkness of emotional attachment to Maya is within his inner being; as if in a dream, he does not understand. ||11||

Some conquer the five demons, by being attached to the Shabad.

They are blessed and very fortunate; the True Guru comes to meet them.

Within the nucleus of their inner being, they dwell upon the Truth; attuned to the Lord's Love, they intuitively merge in Him. ||12||

The Guru's Way is known through the Guru.

His perfect servant attains realization through the Shabad.

Deep within his heart, he dwells forever upon the Shabad; he tastes the sublime essence of the True Lord with his tongue. ||13||

Egotism is conquered and subdued by the Shabad.

I have enshrined the Name of the Lord within my heart.

Other than the One Lord, I know nothing at all. Whatever will be, will automatically be. ||14||

Without the True Guru, no one obtains intuitive wisdom.

The Gurmukh understands, and is immersed in the True Lord.

He serves the True Lord, and is attuned to the True Shabad. The Shabad banishes egotism. ||15||

He Himself is the Giver of virtue, the Contemplative Lord.

The Gurmukh is given the winning dice.

O Nanak, immersed in the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one becomes true; from the True Lord, honor is obtained. ||16||2||

Maaroo, Third Mehl:

One One True Lord is the Life of the World, the Great Giver.

Serving the Guru, through the Word of the Shabad, He is realized.

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 058

There is only One Command, and there is only One Supreme King. In each and every age, He links each to their tasks. ||1||

That humble being is immaculate, who knows his own self.

The Lord, the Giver of peace, Himself comes and meets him.

His tongue is imbued with the Shabad, and he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord; he is honored in the Court of the True Lord. ||2||

The Gurmukh is blessed with the glorious greatness of the Naam.

The self-willed manmukh, the slanderer, loses his honor.

Attuned to the Naam, the supreme soul-swans remain detached; in the home of the self, they remain absorbed in deep meditative trance. ||3||

That humble being who dies in the Shabad is perfect.

The brave, heroic True Guru chants and proclaims this.
