But one who does not know the state of the soul

- do not say anything to such an ignorant person.

Do not argue with fools, O mortals. Meditate on the Lord, in the state of Nirvaanaa. ||5||

Don't worry - let the Creator take care of it.

The Lord gives to all creatures in the water and on the land.

My God bestows His blessings without being asked, even to worms in soil and stones. ||6||

Do not place your hopes in friends, children and siblings.

Do not place your hopes in kings or the business of others.

Without the Lord's Name, no one will be your helper; so meditate on the Lord, the Lord of the world. ||7||

Night and day, chant the Naam.

All your hopes and desires shall be fulfilled.

O servant Nanak, chant the Naam, the Name of the Destroyer of fear, and your life-night shall pass in intuitive peace and poise. ||8||

Those who serve the Lord find peace.

They are intuitively absorbed in the Lord's Name.

The Lord preserves the honor of those who seek His Sanctuary; go and consult the Vedas and the Puraanas. ||9||

That humble being is attached to the Lord's service, whom the Lord so attaches.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, doubt and fear are dispelled.

In his own home, he remains unattached, like the lotus flower in the water. ||10||

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 083

One who serves in egotism is not accepted or approved.

Such a person is born, only to die again, and come and go in reincarnation.

Perfect is that penance and that service, which is pleasing to the Mind of my Lord. ||11||

What Glorious Virtues of Yours should I chant, O my Lord and Master?

You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of all souls.

I beg for blessings from You, O Creator Lord; I repeat Your Name night and day. ||12||

Some speak in egotistical power.

Some have the power of authority and Maya.

I have no other Support at all, except the Lord. O Creator Lord, please save me, meek and dishonored. ||13||

You bless the meek and dishonored with honor, as it pleases You, O Lord.

Many others argue in conflict, coming and going in reincarnation.

Those people, whose side You take, O Lord and Master, are elevated and successful. ||14||

Those who meditate forever on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har,

by Guru's Grace, obtain the supreme status.

Those who serve the Lord find peace; without serving Him, they regret and repent. ||15||

You are pervading all, O Lord of the world.

He alone meditates on the Lord, upon whose forehead the Guru places His hand.

Entering the Sanctuary of the Lord, I meditate on the Lord; servant Nanak is the slave of His slaves. ||16||2||
