The self-willed manmukhs have been led astray from the very beginning; within them lurks greed, avarice and ego.
549
:
385
Their nights and days pass in argument, and they do not reflect upon the Word of the Shabad.
549
:
386
The Creator has taken away their subtle intellect, and all their speech is corrupt.
549
:
387
No matter what they are given, they are not satisfied; within them is desire, and the great darkness of ignorance.
549

388
O Nanak, it is right to break with the self-willed manmukhs; to them, the love of Maya is sweet. ||1||

What can fear and doubt do to those, who have given their heads to the Creator, and to the True Guru?
549
:
391
He who has preserved honor from the beginning of time, He shall preserve their honor as well.
549
:
392
Meeting their Beloved, they find peace; they reflect upon the True Word of the Shabad.
549
:
393
O Nanak, I serve the Giver of Peace; He Himself is the Assessor. ||2||

All beings are Yours; You are the wealth of all.
549
:
396
One unto whom You give, obtains everything; there is no one else to rival You.
549
:
397
You alone are the Great Giver of all; I offer my prayer unto You, Lord.
549
:
398
One with whom You are pleased, is accepted by You; how blessed is such a person!
549
:
399
Your wondrous play is pervading everywhere. I place my pain and pleasure before You. ||2||

Shalok, Third Mehl:

The Gurmukhs are pleasing to the True Lord; they are judged to be true in the True Court.
549
:
402
The minds of such friends are filled with bliss, as they reflect upon the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
549
:
403
They enshrine the Shabad within their hearts; their pain is dispelled, and the Creator blesses them with the Divine Light.
549
:
404
O Nanak, the Savior Lord shall save them, and shower them with His Mercy. ||1||

Serve the Guru, and wait upon Him; as you work, maintain the Fear of God.
549
:
407
As you serve Him, you will become like Him, as you walk according to His Will.
549
:
408
O Nanak, He Himself is everything; there is no other place to go. ||2||

You alone know Your greatness - no one else is as great as You.
549
:
411
If there were some other rival as great as You, then I would speak of him. You alone are as great as You are.
549
:
412
One who serves You obtains peace; who else can compare to You?
549
:
413
You are all-powerful to destroy and create, O Great Giver; with palms pressed together, all stand begging before You.
549
:
414
I see none as great as You, O Great Giver; You give in charity to the beings of all the continents, worlds, solar systems, nether regions and universes. ||3||

O mind, you have no faith, and you have not embraced love for the Celestial Lord;
549
:
417
you do not enjoy the sublime taste of the Word of the Shabad - what Praises of the Lord will you stubborn-mindedly sing?
549
:
418
O Nanak, his coming alone is approved, who, as Gurmukh, merges into the True Lord. ||1||

Third Mehl:
549
:
420
The fool does not understand his own self; he annoys others with his speech.
549
:
421
His underlying nature does not leave him; separated from the Lord, he suffers cruel blows.
549
:
422
Through the fear of the True Guru, he has not changed and reformed himself, so that he might merge in the lap of God.
