Those who do not serve the True Guru waste away their lives in vain. O Nanak, the Lord does just as He pleases. No one has any say in this.
Those who attain the True Lord and chant His Name are pleasing to the Lord. They worship the Lord and bow at His Throne. They fulfill their pre-ordained destiny.
Those who attain the Inexhaustible Name of the Infinite Lord remain happy throughout the four ages.
Those who are not in love with the Lord are foolish and false - they are faithless cynics. They suffer the most extreme agonies of birth and death; they die over and over again, and they rot away in manure.
Those who are attuned to Truth, love the Truth. The Lord Himself bestows this gift; He shall not take it back.
Life is useless, as long as one does not know the Lord God.
Entering the Sanctuary of the Supreme Lord God, how could anyone feel grief any longer?
