The Ādi Granth, or the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs (1877) · 369

He is here (on earth) emancipated and further on (in the other world) he obtains happiness, (says) Xanak.

Not as much as a blade of grass goes with him.

The conceited one, who himself does not acknowledge any one,

' S^IH? = 3^W' r'»/" being a meaningless alliteration.

Whose pride is effaced by the favour of the Guru:

That man is approved at the threshold, (says) Nanak.

(3). Wlio does crores of (religious) works, (but) retains his selfishness:

He incurs (only) fatigue; all his (works) are in vain.'

Who performs many devout austerities in egotism:

He will again and again come to hell (or) heaven.

Who, though making many efforts, does not eject his own self: '

Say, how shall he go to the threshold of Hari?

(4). As long as (man) thinks, that anything is done by him;

As long as he thinks, that he is doing anything:

As long as he considers some one an enemy (or) a friend:

As long as in spiritual illusion he is immersed in the Maya:

So long Dharm-Kfie will inflict punishment on him.

By the mercy of the Lord the fetter is broken.

By the favour of the Guru egotism is done away, (says) Nanak.

(5). (Though) he gain a thousand (Kupees), he rises an<l runs after a Lakh.

He does not get satiated, he follows up the Maya.

Though he enjoy many pleasures of the world:

He is not satiated, he wastes away and dies.

All (his) works are in vain, (they are) designs of a dream.

By delight in the name all comforts are obtained.

To some very fortunate one it is allotted.

In his hand are the order and reflection.

Whatever is made, (that is made) according to his own pleasure.

He comprehends, sees and makes discrimination.

He himself is One and he himself is many.
