1428 : 75
There is no difference between the Lord and the humble servant of the Lord; O Nanak, know this as true. ||29||

1428 : 76
The mortal is entangled in Maya; he has forgotten the Name of the Lord of the Universe.

1428 : 77
Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, what is the use of this human life? ||30||

1428 : 78
The mortal does not think of the Lord; he is blinded by the wine of Maya.

1428 : 79
Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, he is caught in the noose of Death. ||31||

1428 : 80
In good times, there are many companions around, but in bad times, there is no one at all.

1428 : 81
Says Nanak, vibrate, and meditate on the Lord; He shall be your only Help and Support in the end. ||32||

1428 : 82
Mortals wander lost and confused through countless lifetimes; their fear of death is never removed.

1428 : 83
Says Nanak, vibrate and meditate on the Lord, and you shall dwell in the Fearless Lord. ||33||

1428 : 84
I have tried so many things, but the pride of my mind has not been dispelled.

1428 : 85
I am engrossed in evil-mindedness, Nanak. O God, please save me! ||34||

1428 : 86
Childhood, youth and old age - know these as the three stages of life.

1428 : 87
Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, everything is useless; you must appreciate this. ||35||

1428 : 88
You have not done what you should have done; you are entangled in the web of greed.

1428 : 89
Nanak, your time is past and gone; why are you crying now, you blind fool? ||36||

1428 : 90
The mind is absorbed in Maya - it cannot escape it, my friend.

1428 : 91
Nanak, it is like a picture painted on the wall - it cannot leave it. ||37||

1428 : 92
The man wishes for something, but something different happens.

1428 : 93
He plots to deceive others, O Nanak, but he places the noose around his own neck instead. ||38||

1428 : 94
People make all sorts of efforts to find peace and pleasure, but no one tries to earn pain.

1428 : 95
Says Nanak, listen, mind: whatever pleases God comes to pass. ||39||

1428 : 96
The world wanders around begging, but the Lord is the Giver of all.

1428 : 97
Says Nanak, meditate in remembrance on Him, and all your works will be successful. ||40||

1428 : 98
Why do you take such false pride in yourself? You must know that the world is just a dream.

1428 : 99
None of this is yours; Nanak proclaims this truth. ||41||

1428 : 100
You are so proud of your body; it shall perish in an instant, my friend.

1428 : 101
That mortal who chants the Praises of the Lord, O Nanak, conquers the world. ||42||

1428 : 102
That person, who meditates in remembrance on the Lord in his heart, is liberated - know this well.

1428 : 103
There is no difference between that person and the Lord: O Nanak, accept this as the Truth. ||43||

1428 : 104
That person, who does not feel devotion to God in his mind

1428 : 105
- O Nanak, know that his body is like that of a pig, or a dog. ||44||

1428 : 106
A dog never abandons the home of his master.

1428 : 107
O Nanak, in just the same way, vibrate, and meditate on the Lord, single-mindedly, with one-pointed consciousness. ||45||

1428 : 108
Those who make pilgrimages to sacred shrines, observe ritualistic fasts and make donations to charity while still taking pride in their minds

1428 : 109
- O Nanak, their actions are useless, like the elephant, who takes a bath, and then rolls in the dust. ||46||

1428 : 110
The head shakes, the feet stagger, and the eyes become dull and weak.

1428 : 111
Says Nanak, this is your condition. And even now, you have not savored the sublime essence of the Lord. ||47||
