Shalok, Third Mehl:

88 : 2938
Those who do not serve the True Guru, and who do not contemplate the Word of the Shabad

88 : 2939
-spiritual wisdom does not enter into their hearts; they are like dead bodies in the world.

88 : 2940
They go through the cycle of 8.4 million reincarnations, and they are ruined through death and rebirth.

The Treasure of the Naam is within the True Guru; by His Grace, it is obtained.

88 : 2943
Those who are truly attuned to the Word of the Guru's Shabad-their love is forever True.

He slanders others, and pollutes himself with his own filth.

88 : 2956
Outwardly, he washes off the filth, but the impurity of his mind does not go away.

88 : 2957
He argues with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

88 : 2958
Night and day, he suffers, engrossed in the love of duality.

88 : 2959
He does not remember the Name of the Lord, but still, he performs all sorts of empty rituals.

88 : 2960
That which is pre-ordained cannot be erased.
