His mind's desires may lead him to go and dwell at sacred places of pilgrimage, and offer his head to be sawn off;

642 : 1853
but this will not cause the filth of his mind to depart, even though he may make thousands of efforts. ||3||

642 : 1854
He may give gifts of all sorts - gold, women, horses and elephants.

642 : 1855
He may make offerings of corn, clothes and land in abundance, but this will not lead him to the Lord's Door. ||4||

642 : 1856
He may remain devoted to worship and adoration, bowing his forehead to the floor, practicing the six religious rituals.

642 : 1857
He indulges in egotism and pride, and falls into entanglements, but he does not meet the Lord by these devices. ||5||

642 : 1858
He practices the eighty-four postures of Yoga, and acquires the supernatural powers of the Siddhas, but he gets tired of practicing these.

642 : 1859
He lives a long life, but is reincarnated again and again; he has not met with the Lord. ||6||

642 : 1860
He may enjoy princely pleasures, and regal pomp and ceremony, and issue unchallenged commands.

642 : 1861

Shalok, First Mehl:

642 : 1869
Sorat'h is always beautiful, if it brings the True Lord to dwell in the mind of the soul-bride.

642 : 1870
Her teeth are clean and her mind is not split by duality; the Name of the True Lord is on her tongue.

642 : 1871
Here and hereafter, she abides in the Fear of God, and serves the True Guru without hesitation.

642 : 1872
Discarding worldly adornments, she meets her Husband Lord, and she celebrates joyfully with Him.

642 : 1873
She is adorned forever with the Name in her mind, and she does not have even an iota of filth.

642 : 1874
Her husband's younger and elder brothers, the corrupt desires, have died, suffering in pain; and now, who fears Maya, the mother-in-law?

642 : 1875
If she becomes pleasing to her Husband Lord, O Nanak, she bears the jewel of good karma upon her forehead, and everything is Truth to her. ||1||

642 : 1876
Fourth Mehl:

642 : 1877
Sorat'h is beautiful only when it leads the soul-bride to seek the Lord's Name.

642 : 1879
She is attracted to the Lord's Name, day and night, and her body is drenched in the color of the Love of the Lord, Har, Har.

642 : 1880
No other being like the Lord God can be found; I have looked and searched over the whole world.

642 : 1881
The Guru, the True Guru, has implanted the Naam within me; my mind does not waver any more.

642 : 1882
Servant Nanak is the Lord's slave, the slave of the slaves of the Guru, the True Guru. ||2||

642 : 1883
Pauree:

642 : 1884
You Yourself are the Creator, the Fashioner of the world.

642 : 1885
You Yourself have arranged the play, and You Yourself arrange it.

642 : 1886
You Yourself are the Giver and the Creator; You Yourself are the Enjoyer.

642 : 1887
The Word of Your Shabad is pervading everywhere, O Creator Lord.

642 : 1888
As Gurmukh, I ever praise the Lord; I am a sacrifice to the Guru. ||1||
