The foolish self-willed (man) does not think, having gone on (to the other world) he repents.

Thus says Nanak: 0 mind, thou art absorbed in pride, laden with pride thou goest.

(7). 0 mind, do not be puffed up, that thou art knowing something, 0 disciple, be humble!

"Within (thee) is ignorance (and) egoti,sra, clear away (thy) filth by the true word (of the Guru)!

Be humble before the true Guru, he likely makes thee comprehend in some way thy own self!

The 'world is burnt by its own egotism, would tliat thou wouldst remove thy own self!

Do works according to the pleasure of the true Guru, keep to that which is pleasing to the true Guru!

Thus says Nanak: having given up thy own self thou wilt obtain happiness, 0 mind, remain humble!

(8). Blessed is that time, in which I met with the true Guru, that bridegroom came iuto my mind!

Great joy and tranquillity were produced, in my mind and body I obtained happiness.

That bridegroom came into my mind, he was made to dwell in (my) mind (by the Guru), all my vices were given to oblivion.

"When it pleased him, virtues became manifest (in me), the true Guru himself adorns (me).

Those people have become approved of, by whom the One name is kept fast and another love is stopped.

Thus says Nanak: blessed is that Time, in which I have met with the true Guru, that bridegroom has come into my mind!

(9). Some creatures are gone astray in error, (who) are led astray by that bridegroom himself.

In another love they wander about, they do works of egotism.

By that bridegroom himself they are led astray, they are put into a bad road, nothing is in their power.'
