632 : 1508
In the end, nothing shall go along with you; you have entrapped yourself in vain. ||1||

632 : 1509
You have not meditated or vibrated upon the Lord; you have not served the Guru, or His humble servants; spiritual wisdom has not welled up within you.

632 : 1510
The Immaculate Lord is within your heart, and yet you search for Him in the wilderness. ||2||

632 : 1511
You have wandered through many many births; you are exhausted but have still not found a way out of this endless cycle.

632 : 1512
Now that you have obtained this human body, meditate on the Lord's Feet; Nanak advises with this advice. ||3||3||

632 : 1513
Sorat'h, Ninth Mehl:

632 : 1514
O mind, contemplate the Sanctuary of God.

632 : 1515
Meditating on Him in remembrance, Ganika the prostitute was saved; enshrine His Praises within your heart. ||1||Pause||

632 : 1516
Meditating on Him in remembrance, Dhroo became immortal, and obtained the state of fearlessness.

632 : 1517
The Lord and Master removes suffering in this way - why have you forgotten Him? ||1||

632 : 1518
As soon as the elephant took to the protective Sanctuary of the Lord, the ocean of mercy, he escaped from the crocodile.

632 : 1519
How much can I describe the Glorious Praises of the Naam? Whoever chants the Lord's Name, his bonds are broken. ||2||

632 : 1520
Ajaamal, known throughout the world as a sinner, was redeemed in an instant.

632 : 1521
Says Nanak, remember the Chintaamani, the jewel which fulfills all desires, and you too shall be carried across and saved. ||3||4||

632 : 1522
Sorat'h, Ninth Mehl:

632 : 1523
What efforts should the mortal make,

632 : 1524
to attain devotional worship of the Lord, and eradicate the fear of death? ||1||Pause||

632 : 1525
Which actions, what sort of knowledge, and what religion - what Dharma should one practice?

632 : 1526
What Name of the Guru should one remember in meditation, to cross over the terrifying world-ocean? ||1||

632 : 1527
In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Name of the One Lord is the treasure of mercy; chanting it, one obtains salvation.

632 : 1528
No other religion is comparable to this; so speak the Vedas. ||2||

632 : 1529
He is beyond pain and pleasure, forever unattached; He is called the Lord of the world.

632 : 1530
He dwells deep within your inner self, O Nanak, like the image in a mirror. ||3||5||

632 : 1531
Sorat'h, Ninth Mehl:

632 : 1532
O mother, how can I see the Lord of the world?

632 : 1533
In the utter darkness of emotional attachment and spiritual ignorance, my mind remains entangled. ||1||Pause||

632 : 1534
Deluded by doubt, I have wasted my whole life; I have not obtained a stable intellect.

632 : 1535
I remain under the influence of corrupting sins, night and day, and I have not renounced wickedness. ||1||

632 : 1536
I never joined the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and I did not sing the Kirtan of God's Praises.

632 : 1537
O servant Nanak, I have no virtues at all; keep me in Your Sanctuary, Lord. ||2||6||

632 : 1538
Sorat'h, Ninth Mehl:

632 : 1539
O mother, my mind is out of control.

632 : 1540
Night and day, it runs after sin and corruption. How can I restrain it? ||1||Pause||

632 : 1541
He listens to the teachings of the Vedas, the Puraanas and the Simritees, but he does not enshrine them in his heart, even for an instant.

632 : 1542
Engrossed in the wealth and women of others, his life passes away uselessly. ||1||

632 : 1543
He has gone insane with the wine of Maya, and does not understand even a bit of spiritual wisdom.

632 : 1544
Deep within his heart, the Immaculate Lord dwells, but he does not know this secret. ||2||
