But, going to the world hereafter, he shall be beaten and kicked in the face; then, it will be obvious, what sort of guide he was! ||2||

Pauree:

Through all the months and the seasons, the minutes and the hours, I dwell upon You, O Lord.

No one has attained You by clever calculations, O True, Unseen and Infinite Lord.

That scholar who is full of greed, arrogant pride and egotism, is known to be a fool.

So read the Name, and realize the Name, and contemplate the Guru's Teachings.

Through the Guru's Teachings, I have earned the wealth of the Naam; I possess the storehouses, overflowing with devotion to the Lord.

Believing in the Immaculate Naam, one is hailed as true, in the True Court of the Lord.

The Divine Light of the Infinite Lord, who owns the soul and the breath of life, is deep within the inner being.

You alone are the True Banker, O Lord; the rest of the world is just Your petty trader. ||6||

Shalok, First Mehl:

Let mercy be your mosque, faith your prayer-mat, and honest living your Koran.

Make modesty your circumcision, and good conduct your fast. In this way, you shall be a true Muslim.

Let good conduct be your Kaabaa, Truth your spiritual guide, and the karma of good deeds your prayer and chant.

Let your rosary be that which is pleasing to His Will. O Nanak, God shall preserve your honor. ||1||

Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 048

First Mehl

: To take what rightfully belongs to another, is like a Muslim eating pork, or a Hindu eating beef.

Our Guru, our Spiritual Guide, stands by us, if we do not eat those carcasses.

By mere talk, people do not earn passage to Heaven. Salvation comes only from the practice of Truth.

By adding spices to forbidden foods, they are not made acceptable.

O Nanak, from false talk, only falsehood is obtained. ||2||

First Mehl:

There are five prayers and five times of day for prayer; the five have five names.

Let the first be truthfulness, the second honest living, and the third charity in the Name of God.

Let the fourth be good will to all, and the fifth the praise of the Lord.

Repeat the prayer of good deeds, and then, you may call yourself a Muslim.

O Nanak, the false obtain falsehood, and only falsehood. ||3||

Pauree:

Some trade in priceless jewels, while others deal in mere glass.

When the True Guru is pleased, we find the treasure of the jewel, deep within the self.

Without the Guru, no one has found this treasure. The blind and the false have died in their endless wanderings.

The self-willed manmukhs putrefy and die in duality. They do not understand contemplative meditation.

Without the One Lord, there is no other at all. Unto whom should they complain?

Some are destitute, and wander around endlessly, while others have storehouses of wealth.
