As is their awareness, so is their way.
25
:
437
According to the account of our actions, we come and go in reincarnation. ||1||
25
:
438
Why, O soul, do you try such clever tricks?
25
:
439
Taking away and giving back, God does not delay. ||1||Pause||
25
:
440
All beings belong to You; all beings are Yours. O Lord and Master,
25
:
441
how can You become angry with them?
25
:
442
Even if You, O Lord and Master, become angry with them,
25
:
443
still, You are theirs, and they are Yours. ||2||
25
:
444
We are foul-mouthed; we spoil everything with our foul words.
25
:
445
You weigh us in the balance of Your Glance of Grace.
25
:
446
When one's actions are right, the understanding is perfect.
25
:
447
Without good deeds, it becomes more and more deficient. ||3||
25
:
448
Prays Nanak, what is the nature of the spiritual people?
25
:
449
They are self-realized; they understand God.
25
:
450
By Guru's Grace, they contemplate Him;
25
:
451
such spiritual people are honored in His Court. ||4||30||

Siree Raag, First Mehl, Fourth House:
25
:
453
You are the River, All-knowing and All-seeing. I am just a fish-how can I find Your limit?
25
:
454
Wherever I look, You are there. Outside of You, I would burst and die. ||1||
25
:
455
I do not know of the fisherman, and I do not know of the net.
25
:
456
But when the pain comes, then I call upon You. ||1||Pause||
25
:
457
You are present everywhere. I had thought that You were far away.
25
:
458
Whatever I do, I do in Your Presence.
25
:
459
You see all my actions, and yet I deny them.
25
:
460
I have not worked for You, or Your Name. ||2||
25
:
461
Whatever You give me, that is what I eat.
25
:
462
There is no other door-unto which door should I go?
25
:
463
Nanak offers this one prayer:
25
:
464
this body and soul are totally Yours. ||3||
25
:
465
He Himself is near, and He Himself is far away; He Himself is in-between.
25
:
466
He Himself beholds, and He Himself listens. By His Creative Power, He created the world.
25
:
467
Whatever pleases Him, O Nanak-that Command is acceptable. ||4||31||
25
:
468
Siree Raag, First Mehl, Fourth House:
25
:
469
Why should the created beings feel pride in their minds?
25
:
470
The Gift is in the Hands of the Great Giver.
25
:
471
As it pleases Him, He may give, or not give.
25
:
472
What can be done by the order of the created beings? ||1||
25
:
473
He Himself is True; Truth is pleasing to His Will.
25
:
474
The spiritually blind are unripe and imperfect, inferior and worthless. ||1||Pause||
25
:
475
The One who owns the trees of the forest and the plants of the garden
25
:
476
-according to their nature, He gives them all their names.
25
:
477
The Flower and the Fruit of the Lord's Love are obtained by pre-ordained destiny.
25
:
478
As we plant, so we harvest and eat. ||2||
25
:
479
The wall of the body is temporary, as is the soul-mason within it.
25
:
480
The flavor of the intellect is bland and insipid without the Salt.
25
:
481
O Nanak, as He wills, He makes things right.
25
:
482
Without the Name, no one is approved. ||3||32||
25
:
483
Siree Raag, First Mehl, Fifth House:
25
:
484
The Undeceiveable is not deceived by deception. He cannot be wounded by any dagger.
25
:
485
As our Lord and Master keeps us, so do we exist. The soul of this greedy person is tossed this way and that. ||1||
25
:
486
Without the oil, how can the lamp be lit? ||1||Pause||
25
:
487
Let the reading of your prayer book be the oil, and let the Fear of God be the wick for the lamp of this body.
25
:
488
Light this lamp with the understanding of Truth. ||2||
25
:
489
Use this oil to light this lamp.
25
:
490
Light it, and meet your Lord and Master. ||1||Pause||
25
:
491
This body is softened with the Word of the Guru's Bani;
25
:
492
you shall find peace, doing seva (selfless service).
