Appendix 5
329
bharmai bhiih na vijhvai fa bhave disantar tUS The fire of pride is not extinguished By wandering over distant lands. The dirt in the mind is not cleansed By wearing clean garments. Fie, the life of falsehood; fie, the mask of divinity! Nothing will make you a Bhakta true Save the teaching of the True Guru. 0 mind, if you seek good and annihilate pride Let the Guru's word find a place in your hean And the craving of the ego will be destroyed.
The mind is a priceless pearl With it you can acquire an honoured place beside the Master. In the comp~y of the pious seek the Lord For the Lord loves those on whose lips is His name. Your pride shall vanish, and yours be the bliss Of a wave mingling back with the waters. Those that have not brought the thought of Hari to their minds Shall be caught in the cycle of birth and death. Those that come not to the True One, the Supreme Being, Shall be ruined and like flotsam drift On the turbulent waters of life. Human life which is priceless beyond compare Is thus bartered away for a worthless shell. Those to whom the True Guru tells the secret, Acquire complete wisdom. The Guru takes them across the waters And they are received with honour. 0 Nanak, their faces are radiant And in their hearts is joy, Bom of the music of His word.
(Sn, achal chalm na chalai He deprives of delusion The things that delude; He blunts the edge of the dagger And it does not wound.
