364 : 804
The world is tied to birth and death.

364 : 805
The unconscious, self-willed manmukh is enveloped in the darkness of Maya and emotional attachment.

364 : 806
He slanders others, and practices utter falsehood.

One may dance and play numerous instruments;

364 : 836
but this mind is blind and deaf, so for whose benefit is this speaking and preaching?

364 : 837
Deep within is the fire of greed, and the dust-storm of doubt.

364 : 838
The lamp of knowledge is not burning, and understanding is not obtained. ||1||

364 : 839
The Gurmukh has the light of devotional worship within his heart.

364 : 840
Understanding his own self, he meets God. ||1||Pause||

364 : 841
