The blind, self-willed manmukh comes and goes in reincarnation;

without meeting the True Guru, he finds no place of rest.

O Nanak, he acts according to his pre-ordained destiny. ||2||

Pauree:

Those who have hearts as hard as stone, do not sit near the True Guru.

Truth prevails there; the false ones do not attune their consciousness to it.

By hook or by crook, they pass their time, and then they go back to sit with the false ones again.

Falsehood does not mix with the Truth; O people, check it out and see.

The false go and mingle with the false, while the truthful Sikhs sit by the side of the True Guru. ||26||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 165

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

By their own efforts, the slanderers have destroyed all remnants of themselves.

The Support of the Saints, O Nanak, is manifest, pervading everywhere. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

Those who went astray from the Primal Being in the very beginning - where can they find refuge?

O Nanak, they are struck down by the All-powerful, the Cause of causes. ||2||

Pauree, Fifth Mehl:

They take the noose in their hands, and go out at night to strangle others, but God knows everything, O mortal.

They spy on other men's women, concealed in their hiding places.

They break into well-protected places, and revel in sweet wine.

But they shall come to regret their actions - they create their own karma.

Azraa-eel, the Angel of Death, shall crush them like sesame seeds in the oil-press. ||27||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

The servants of the True King are acceptable and approved.

Those ignorant ones who serve duality, O Nanak, rot, waste away and die. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

That destiny which was pre-ordained by God from the very beginning cannot be erased.

The wealth of the Lord's Name is Nanak's capital; he meditates on it forever. ||2||

Pauree, Fifth Mehl:

One who has received a kick from the Lord God - where can he place his foot?

He commits countless sins, and continually eats poison.

Slandering others, he wastes away and dies; within his body, he burns.

One who has been struck down by the True Lord and Master - who can save him now?

Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Unseen Lord, the Primal Being. ||28||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

In the most horrible hell, there is terrible pain and suffering. It is the place of the ungrateful.

They are struck down by God, O Nanak, and they die a most miserable death. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

All kinds of medicines may be prepared, but there is no cure for the slanderer.

Those whom the Lord Himself misleads, O Nanak, putrefy and rot in reincarnation. ||2||

Pauree, Fifth Mehl:

By His Pleasure, the True Guru has blessed me with the inexhaustible wealth of the Name of the True Lord.
