231 : 3755
They do not understand the essence of reality, and they gather their worthless bundles of straw. ||2||

231 : 3756
The self-willed manmukhs, in ignorance, take the path of evil.

231 : 3757
They forget the Lord's Name, and in its place, they establish all sorts of rituals.

231 : 3758
They drown in the terrifying world-ocean, in the love of duality. ||3||

231 : 3759
Driven crazy, infatuated by Maya, they call themselves Pandits - religious scholars;

231 : 3760
stained with corruption, they suffer terrible pain.

231 : 3761
The noose of the Messenger of Death is around their necks; they are constantly tormented by death. ||4||

231 : 3762
The Messenger of Death does not even approach the Gurmukhs.

231 : 3763
Through the Word of the Shabad, they burn away their ego and duality.

231 : 3764
Attuned to the Name, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||5||

231 : 3765
Maya is the slave of the Lord's devotees; it works for them.

231 : 3766
One who falls at their feet attains the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

231 : 3767
He is forever immaculate; he is absorbed in intuitive peace. ||6||

231 : 3768
Those who listen to the Lord's Sermon are seen to be the wealthy people in this world.

231 : 3769
Everyone bows down to them, and adores them, night and day.

231 : 3770
They intuitively savor the Glories of the True Lord within their minds. ||7||

231 : 3771
The Perfect True Guru has revealed the Shabad;

231 : 3772
it eradicates the three qualities, and attunes the consciousness to the fourth state.

231 : 3773
O Nanak, subduing egotism, one is absorbed into God. ||8||4||

231 : 3774
Gauree, Third Mehl:

231 : 3775
Brahma studied the Vedas, but these lead only to debates and disputes.

231 : 3776
He is filled with darkness; he does not understand himself.

231 : 3777
And yet, if he chants the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he finds God. ||1||

231 : 3778
So serve the Guru, and you shall not be consumed by death.

231 : 3779
The self-willed manmukhs have been consumed by the love of duality. ||1||Pause||

231 : 3780
Becoming Gurmukh, the sinful mortals are purified.

231 : 3781
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they find intuitive peace and poise deep within.

231 : 3782
I have found my God, through the Guru's Shabad, and I have been reformed. ||2||

231 : 3783
God Himself unites us in Union with the True Guru,

231 : 3784
when we become pleasing to the Mind of my True God.

231 : 3785
They sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, in the poise of celestial peace. ||3||

231 : 3786
Without the True Guru, they are deluded by doubt.

231 : 3787
The blind, self-willed manmukhs constantly eat poison.

231 : 3788
They are beaten by the Messenger of Death with his rod, and they suffer in constant pain. ||4||

231 : 3789
The Messenger of Death does not catch sight of those who enter the Sanctuary of the Lord.

231 : 3790
Subduing egotism, they lovingly center their consciousness on the True Lord.

231 : 3791
They keep their consciousness constantly focused on the Lord's Name. ||5||

231 : 3792
Those humble beings who serve the True Guru are pure and immaculate.

231 : 3793
Merging their minds into the Mind, they conquer the entire world.

231 : 3794
In this way, you too shall find happiness, O my friend. ||6||

231 : 3795
Those who serve the True Guru are blessed with fruitful rewards.

231 : 3796
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides in their hearts; selfishness and conceit depart from within them.

231 : 3797
The unstruck melody of the Shabad vibrates for them. ||7||

231 : 3798
Who - who has not been purified by the True Guru, O my Siblings of Destiny?

231 : 3799
The devotees are purified, and honored in His Court.

231 : 3800
O Nanak, greatness is in the Lord's Name. ||8||5||

231 : 3801
Gauree, Third Mehl:

231 : 3802
Those who speak of the three qualities - their doubts do not depart.

231 : 3803
Their bonds are not broken, and they do not obtain liberation.

231 : 3804
The True Guru is the Bestower of liberation in this age. ||1||

231 : 3805
Those mortals who become Gurmukh give up their doubts.

231 : 3806
The celestial music wells up, when they lovingly attune their consciousness to the Lord. ||1||Pause||

231 : 3807
Those who are controlled by the three qualities have death hovering over their heads.
