The fools perform devotional worship by showing off;
159
:
380
they dance and dance and jump all around, but they only suffer in terrible pain.
159
:
381
By dancing and jumping, devotional worship is not performed.
159
:
382
But one who dies in the Word of the Shabad, obtains devotional worship. ||3||
159
:
383

Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:
159
:
388
When someone kills and subdues his own mind, his wandering nature is also subdued.
159
:
389
Without such a death, how can one find the Lord?
159
:
390
Only a few know the medicine to kill the mind.
159
:
391
One whose mind dies in the Word of the Shabad, understands Him. ||1||
159
:
392
He grants greatness to those whom He forgives.
159
:
393
By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to dwell within the mind. ||1||Pause||
159

159
:
395
thus he comes to understand this mind.
159
:
396
The mind is like an elephant, drunk with wine.
159
:
397
The Guru is the rod which controls it, and shows it the way. ||2||

The mind is uncontrollable; how rare are those who subdue it.
159

The Gurmukhs embellish and beautify this mind.
159
:
401
They eradicate egotism and corruption from within. ||3||
159
:
402
Those who, by pre-ordained destiny, are united in the Lord's Union,
159
:
403
are never separated from Him again; they are absorbed in the Shabad.
159
:
404
He Himself knows His Own Almighty Power.
159

405
O Nanak, the Gurmukh realizes the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||5||25||

407
The entire world has gone insane in egotism.
159
:
408
In the love of duality, it wanders deluded by doubt.
159
:
409
The mind is distracted by great anxiety; no one recognizes one's own self.
159
:
410
Occupied with their own affairs, their nights and days are passing away. ||1||
159
:
411
Meditate on the Lord in your hearts, O my Siblings of Destiny.
159
:
412
The Gurmukh's tongue savors the sublime essence of the Lord. ||1||Pause||
159
:
413

:
415
They subdue egotism, and realize the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
159
:
416
God, the Architect of Destiny, showers His Mercy upon them. ||2||
159
:
417
True are those who merge into the Word of the Guru's Shabad;
159
:
418
they restrain their wandering mind and keep it steady.
159
:
419
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the nine treasures. It is obtained from the Guru.
159
:
420
By the Lord's Grace, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind. ||3||
159
:
421

Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:
159
:
426
Why forget Him, unto whom the soul and the breath of life belong?
159
:
427
Why forget Him, who is all-pervading?
159
:
428
Serving Him, one is honored and accepted in the Court of the Lord. ||1||
159
:
429
I am a sacrifice to the Name of the Lord.
159
:
430
If I were to forget You, at that very instant, I would die. ||1||Pause||
159
:
431
Those whom You Yourself have led astray, forget You.
