Nanak speaks and proclaims the Lord's Story; as it pleases the Creator, so does he speak. ||1||

Fourth Mehl:

One who does not obey the Hukam, the Command of the Perfect Guru - that self-willed manmukh is plundered by his ignorance and poisoned by Maya.

Within him is falsehood, and he sees everyone else as false; the Lord has tied these useless conflicts around his neck.

He babbles on and on, but the words he speaks please no one.

He wanders from house to house like an abandoned woman; whoever associates with him is stained by the mark of evil as well.

Those who become Gurmukh avoid him; they forsake his company and sit hear the Guru.

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 154

O chosen people, O self-elect, one who does not publicly affirm his Guru is not a good person; he loses all his profits and capital.

People used to chant and recite the Shaastras and the Vedas, O Nanak, but now the Words of the Perfect Guru have come to be the most exalted of all.

The glorious greatness of the Perfect Guru is pleasing to the GurSikh; the self-willed manmukhs have lost this opportunity. ||2||

Pauree:

The True Lord is truly the greatest of all; he alone obtains Him, who is anointed by the Guru.

He is the True Guru, who meditates on the True Lord. The True Lord and the True Guru are truly One.

He is the True Guru, the Primal Being, who has totally conquered his five passions.

One who does not serve the True Guru, and who praises himself, is filled with falsehood within. Cursed, cursed is his ugly face.

His words are not pleasing to anyone; his face is blackened, and he is separated from the True Guru. ||8||

Shalok, Fourth Mehl:

Everyone is the field of the Lord God; the Lord Himself cultivates this field.

The Gurmukh grows the crop of forgiveness, while the self-willed manmukh loses even his roots.

They all plant for their own good, but the Lord causes to grow only that field with which He is pleased.

The GurSikh plants the seed of the Lord's Ambrosial Nectar, and obtains the Lord's Ambrosial Naam as his Ambrosial Fruit.

The mouse of Death is continually gnawing away at the crop, but the Creator Lord has beaten it off and driven it away.

The farm was successful, by the Love of the Lord, and the crop was produced by God's Grace.

He has removed all the burning and anxiety of those, who have meditated on the True Guru, the Primal Being.

O servant Nanak, one who worships and adores the Naam, the Name of the Lord, swims across, and saves the whole world as well. ||1||

Fourth Mehl:

The self-willed manmukh is occupied with greed all day long, although he may claim otherwise.

At night, he is overcome by fatigue, and all his nine holes are weakened.
