2809
In the stores and on the road, do not sleep; do not let your consciousness covet anyone else's home.
939
:
2810
Without the Name, the mind has no firm support; O Nanak, this hunger never departs.
939
:
2811
The Guru has revealed the stores and the city within the home of my own heart, where I intuitively carry on the true trade.
939
:
2812
Sleep little, and eat little; O Nanak, this is the essence of wisdom. ||8||

"Wear the robes of the sect of Yogis who follow Gorakh; put on the ear-rings, begging wallet and patched coat.
939
:
2814
Among the twelve schools of Yoga, ours is the highest; among the six schools of philosophy, ours is the best path.
939
:
2815
This is the way to instruct the mind, so you will never suffer beatings again."

Nanak speaks: the Gurmukh understands; this is the way that Yoga is attained. ||9||
939

Let constant absorption in the Word of the Shabad deep within be your ear-rings; eradicate egotism and attachment.
939
:
2818
Discard sexual desire, anger and egotism, and through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, attain true understanding.
939
:
2819
For your patched coat and begging bowl, see the Lord God pervading and permeating everywhere; O Nanak, the One Lord will carry you across.
939
:
2820
True is our Lord and Master, and True is His Name. Analyze it, and you shall find the Word of the Guru to be True. ||10||
939
:
2821
Let your mind turn away in detachment from the world, and let this be your begging bowl. Let the lessons of the five elements be your cap.
939
:
2822
Let the body be your meditation mat, and the mind your loin cloth.
939
:
2823
Let truth, contentment and self-discipline be your companions.
939
:
2824
O Nanak, the Gurmukh dwells on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||11||

"Who is hidden? Who is liberated?
939
:
2826
Who is united, inwardly and outwardly?
939
:
2827
Who comes, and who goes?
939
:
2828
Who is permeating and pervading the three worlds?"||12||
939
:
2829
He is hidden within each and every heart. The Gurmukh is liberated.
939
:
2830
Through the Word of the Shabad, one is united, inwardly and outwardly.
939
:
2831
The self-willed manmukh perishes, and comes and goes.
939
:
2832
O Nanak, the Gurmukh merges in Truth. ||13||
939

2833
"How is one placed in bondage, and consumed by the serpent of Maya?
939
:
2834
How does one lose, and how does one gain?
939
:
2835
How does one become immaculate and pure? How is the darkness of ignorance removed?
939
:
2836
One who understands this essence of reality is our Guru."||14||
939
:
2837
Man is bound by evil-mindedness, and consumed by Maya, the serpent.
939
:
2838
The self-willed manmukh loses, and the Gurmukh gains.
939
:
2839
Meeting the True Guru, darkness is dispelled.
939
:
2840
O Nanak, eradicating egotism, one merges in the Lord. ||15||
939
:
2841
Focused deep within, in perfect absorption,
939
:
2842
the soul-swan does not fly away, and the body-wall does not collapse.
939
:
2843
Then, one knows that his true home is in the cave of intuitive poise.
939
:
2844
O Nanak, the True Lord loves those who are truthful. ||16||

"Why have you left your house and become a wandering Udaasee?
939
:
2846
Why have you adopted these religious robes?
939
:
2847
What merchandise do you trade?
939
:
2848
How will you carry others across with you?"||17||
939
:
2849
I became a wandering Udaasee, searching for the Gurmukhs.
939
:
2850
I have adopted these robes seeking the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan.
939
:
2851
I trade in the merchandise of Truth.
939
:
2852
O Nanak, as Gurmukh, I carry others across. ||18||
