That mortal who meditates and vibrates upon the Lord night and day — know him to be the embodiment of the Lord. There is no difference between the Lord and the humble servant of the Lord; O Nanak, know this as true. || 29 || The mortal is entangled in Maya; he has forgotten the Name of the Lord of the Universe. Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, what is the use of this human life? || 30 || The mortal does not think of the Lord; he is blinded by the wine of Maya. Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, he is caught in the noose of Death. || 31 || In good times, there are many companions around, but in bad times, there is no one at all. Says Nanak, vibrate, and meditate on the Lord; He shall be your only Help and Support in the end. || 32 || Mortals wander lost and confused through countless lifetimes; their fear of death is never removed. Says Nanak, vibrate and meditate on the Lord, and you shall dwell in the Fearless Lord. || 33 || I have tried so many things, but the pride of my mind has not been dispelled. I am engrossed in evil-mindedness, Nanak. O God, please save me! || 34 || Childhood, youth and old age — know these as the three stages of life. Says Nanak, without meditating on the Lord, everything is useless; you must appreciate this. || 35 || You have not done what you should have done; you are entangled in the web of greed. Nanak, your time is past and gone; why are you crying now, you blind fool? || 36 || The mind is absorbed in Maya — it cannot escape it, my friend. Nanak, it is like a picture painted on the wall — it cannot leave it. || 37 || The man wishes for something, but something different happens. He plots to deceive others, O Nanak, but he places the noose around his own neck instead. || 38 || People make all sorts of efforts to find peace and pleasure, but no one tries to earn pain. Says Nanak, listen, mind: whatever pleases God comes to pass. || 39 || The world wanders around begging, but the Lord is the Giver of all. Says Nanak, meditate in remembrance on Him, and all your works will be successful. || 40 || Why do you take such false pride in yourself? You must know that the world is just a dream. None of this is yours; Nanak proclaims this truth. || 41 || You are so proud of your body; it shall perish in an instant, my friend. That mortal who chants the Praises of the Lord, O Nanak, conquers the world. || 42 || That person, who meditates in remembrance on the Lord in his heart, is liberated — know this well. There is no difference between that person and the Lord: O Nanak, accept this as the Truth. || 43 || That person, who does not feel devotion to God in his mind — O Nanak, know that his body is like that of a pig, or a dog. || 44 || A dog never abandons the home of his master. O Nanak, in just the same way, vibrate, and meditate on the Lord, single-mindedly, with one-pointed consciousness. || 45 || Those who make pilgrimages to sacred shrines, observe ritualistic fasts and make donations to charity while still taking pride in their minds — O Nanak, their actions are useless, like the elephant, who takes a bath, and then rolls in the dust. || 46 || The head shakes, the feet stagger, and the eyes become dull and weak. Says Nanak, this is your condition.
