225 : 3441
Because of the love of duality, God killed the demons.

225 : 3442
By their true devotion, the Gurmukhs have been saved. ||8||

225 : 3443
Sinking down, Durodhan lost his honor.

225 : 3444
He did not know the Creator Lord.

225 : 3445
One who makes the Lord's humble servant suffer, shall himself suffer and rot. ||9||

225 : 3446
Janameja did not know the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

225 : 3447
Deluded by doubt, how could he find peace?

225 : 3448
Making a mistake, for even an instant, you shall regret and repent later on. ||10||

225 : 3449
Kansa the King and his warriors Kays and Chandoor had no equals.

225 : 3450
But they did not remember the Lord, and they lost their honor.

225 : 3451
Without the Lord of the Universe, no one can be saved. ||11||

225 : 3452
Without the Guru, pride cannot be eradicated.

225 : 3453
Following the Guru's Teachings, one obtains Dharmic faith, composure and the Lord's Name.

225 : 3454
O Nanak, singing the Glories of God, His Name is received. ||12||9||

225 : 3455
Gauree, First Mehl:

225 : 3456
I may anoint my limbs with sandalwood oil.

225 : 3457
I may dress up and wear silk and satin clothes.

225 : 3458
But without the Lord's Name, where would I find peace? ||1||

225 : 3459
So what should I wear? In what clothes should I display myself?

225 : 3460
Without the Lord of the Universe, how can I find peace? ||1||Pause||

225 : 3461
I may wear ear-rings, and a pearl necklace around my neck;

225 : 3462
my bed may be adorned with red blankets, flowers and red powder;

225 : 3463
but without the Lord of the Universe, where can I search for peace? ||2||

225 : 3464
I may have a beautiful woman with fascinating eyes;

225 : 3465
she may decorate herself with the sixteen adornments, and make herself appear gorgeous.

225 : 3466
But without meditating on the Lord of the Universe, there is only continual suffering. ||3||

225 : 3467
In his hearth and home, in his palace, upon his soft and comfortable bed,

225 : 3468
day and night, the flower-girls scatter flower petals;

225 : 3469
but without the Lord's Name, the body is miserable. ||4||

225 : 3470
Horses, elephants, lances, marching bands,

225 : 3471
armies, standard bearers, royal attendants and ostentatious displays

225 : 3472
- without the Lord of the Universe, these undertakings are all useless. ||5||

225 : 3473
He may be called a Siddha, a man of spiritual perfection, and he may summon riches and supernatural powers;

225 : 3474
he may place a crown upon his head, and carry a royal umbrella;

225 : 3475
but without the Lord of the Universe, where can Truth be found? ||6||

225 : 3476
He may be called an emperor, a lord, and a king;

225 : 3477
he may give orders - "Do this now, do this then" - but this is a false display.

225 : 3478
Without the Word of the Guru's Shabad, his works are not accomplished. ||7||

225 : 3479
Egotism and possessiveness are dispelled by the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

225 : 3480
With the Guru's Teachings in my heart, I have come to know the Lord.

225 : 3481
Prays Nanak, I seek Your Sanctuary. ||8||10||

225 : 3482
Gauree, First Mehl:

225 : 3483
Those who serve the One Lord, do not know any other.

225 : 3484
They abandon the bitter worldly conflicts.

225 : 3485
Through love and truth, they meet the Truest of the True. ||1||

225 : 3486
Such are the humble devotees of the Lord.

225 : 3487
They sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and their pollution is washed away. ||1||Pause||

225 : 3488
The heart-lotus of the entire universe is upside-down.

225 : 3489
The fire of evil-mindedness is burning up the world.

225 : 3490
They alone are saved, who contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||2||

225 : 3491
The bumble bee, the moth, the elephant, the fish

225 : 3492
and the deer - all suffer for their actions, and die.

225 : 3493
Trapped by desire, they cannot see reality. ||3||

225 : 3494
The lover of women is obsessed with sex.

225 : 3495
All the wicked are ruined by their anger.

225 : 3496
Honor and good sense are lost, when one forgets the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||
