Those who drink it in, by the Grace of the Lord, are never again afflicted by death. ||17||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

People tie up bundles of demerits; no one deals in virtue.

Rare is that person, O Nanak, who purchases virtue.

By Guru's Grace, one is blessed with virtue, when the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace. ||1||

Third Mehl:

Merits and demerits are the same; they are both created by the Creator.

O Nanak, one who obeys the Hukam of the Lord's Command, finds peace, contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||2||

Pauree:

The King sits on the throne within the self; He Himself administers justice.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Lord's Court is known; within the self is the Sanctuary, the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

The coins are assayed, and the genuine coins are placed in His treasury, while the counterfeit ones find no place.

The Truest of the True is all-pervading; His justice is forever True.

One comes to enjoy the Ambrosial essence, when the Name is enshrined in the mind. ||18||

Shalok, First Mehl:

When one acts in egotism, then You are not there, Lord. Wherever You are, there is no ego.

Section 25 - Raag Maaroo - Part 105

O spiritual teachers, understand this: the Unspoken Speech is in the mind.

Without the Guru, the essence of reality is not found; the Invisible Lord dwells everywhere.

One meets the True Guru, and then the Lord is known, when the Word of the Shabad comes to dwell in the mind.

When self-conceit departs, doubt and fear also depart, and the pain of birth and death is removed.

Following the Guru's Teachings, the Unseen Lord is seen; the intellect is exalted, and one is carried across.

O Nanak, chant the chant of 'Sohang hansaa' - 'He is me, and I am Him.' The three worlds are absorbed in Him. ||1||

Third Mehl:

Some assay their mind-jewel, and contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

Only a few of those humble beings are known in this world, in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga.

One's self remains blended with the Lord's Self, when egotism and duality are conquered.

O Nanak, those who are imbued with the Naam cross over the difficult, treacherous and terrifying world-ocean. ||2||

Pauree:

The self-willed manmukhs do not search within their own selves; they are deluded by their egotistical pride.

Wandering in the four directions, they grow weary, tormented by burning desire within.

They do not study the Simritees and the Shaastras; the manmukhs waste away and are lost.

Without the Guru, no one finds the Naam, the Name of the True Lord.

One who contemplates the essence of spiritual wisdom and meditates on the Lord is saved. ||19||
