635 : 1614
Only those who taste it know its sweet taste, like the mute, who eats the candy, and only smiles.

635 : 1615
How can I describe the indescribable, O Siblings of Destiny? I shall follow His Will forever.

635 : 1616
If one meets with the Guru, the Generous Giver, then he understands; those who have no Guru cannot understand this.

635 : 1617
As the Lord causes us to act, so do we act, O Siblings of Destiny. What other clever tricks can anyone try? ||6||

635 : 1618
Some are deluded by doubt, while others are imbued with devotional worship; Your play is infinite and endless.

635 : 1619
As You engage them, they receive the fruits of their rewards; You alone are the One who issues Your Commands.

635 : 1620
I would serve You, if anything were my own; my soul and body are Yours.

635 : 1621
One who meets with the True Guru, by His Grace, takes the Support of the Ambrosial Naam. ||7||

635 : 1622
He dwells in the heavenly realms, and his virtues radiantly shine forth; meditation and spiritual wisdom are found in virtue.

635 : 1623
The Naam is pleasing to his mind; he speaks it, and causes others to speak it as well. He speaks the essential essence of wisdom.

635 : 1624
The Word of the Shabad is his Guru and spiritual teacher, profound and unfathomable; without the Shabad, the world is insane.

635 : 1625
He is a perfect renunciate, naturally at ease, O Nanak, whose mind is pleased with the True Lord. ||8||1||

635 : 1626
Sorat'h, First Mehl, Ti-Tukas:

635 : 1627
Hope and desire are entrapments, O Siblings of Destiny. Religious rituals and ceremonies are traps.

635 : 1628
Because of good and bad deeds, one is born into the world, O Siblings of Destiny; forgetting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, he is ruined.

635 : 1629
This Maya is the enticer of the world, O Siblings of Destiny; all such actions are corrupt. ||1||

635 : 1630
Listen, O ritualistic Pandit:

635 : 1631
that religious ritual which produces happiness, O Siblings of Destiny, is contemplation of the essence of the soul. ||Pause||

635 : 1632
You may stand and recite the Shaastras and the Vedas, O Siblings of Destiny, but these are just worldly actions.

635 : 1633
Filth cannot be washed away by hypocrisy, O Siblings of Destiny; the filth of corruption and sin is within you.

635 : 1634
This is how the spider is destroyed, O Siblings of Destiny, by falling head-long in its own web. ||2||

635 : 1635
So many are destroyed by their own evil-mindedness, O Siblings of Destiny; in the love of duality, they are ruined.

635 : 1636
Without the True Guru, the Name is not obtained, O Siblings of Destiny; without the Name, doubt does not depart.

635 : 1637
If one serves the True Guru, then he obtains peace, O Siblings of Destiny; his comings and goings are ended. ||3||

635 : 1638
True celestial peace comes from the Guru, O Siblings of Destiny; the immaculate mind is absorbed into the True Lord.

635 : 1639
One who serves the Guru, understands, O Siblings of Destiny; without the Guru, the way is not found.

635 : 1640
What can anyone do, with greed within? O Siblings of Destiny, by telling lies, they eat poison. ||4||

635 : 1641
O Pandit, by churning cream, butter is produced.

635 : 1642
By churning water, you shall only see water, O Siblings of Destiny; this world is like that.

635 : 1643
Without the Guru, he is ruined by doubt, O Siblings of Destiny; the unseen Divine Lord is in each and every heart. ||5||

635 : 1644
This world is like a thread of cotton, O Siblings of Destiny, which Maya has tied on all ten sides.

635 : 1645
Without the Guru, the knots cannot be untied, O Siblings of Destiny; I am so tired of religious rituals.

635 : 1646
This world is deluded by doubt, O Siblings of Destiny; no one can say anything about it. ||6||

635 : 1647
Meeting with the Guru, the Fear of God comes to abide in the mind; to die in the Fear of God is one's true destiny.

635 : 1648
In the Court of the Lord, the Naam is far superior to ritualistic cleansing baths, charity and good deeds, O Siblings of Destiny.
