Whatever He gives, He gives once and for all.
O foolish mind, why do you complain, and cry out so loud?
Whenever you ask for something, you ask for worldly things;
no one has obtained happiness from these.
If you must ask for a gift, then ask for the One Lord.
O Nanak, by Him, you shall be saved. ||41||
Salok:
Perfect is the intellect, and most distinguished is the reputation, of those whose minds are filled with the Mantra of the Perfect Guru.
Those who come to know their God, O Nanak, are very fortunate. ||1||
Pauree:
MAMMA: Those who understand God's mystery are satisfied,
joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.
They look upon pleasure and pain as the same.
They are exempt from incarnation into heaven or hell.
They live in the world, and yet they are detached from it.
The Sublime Lord, the Primal Being, is totally pervading each and every heart.
In His Love, they find peace.
O Nanak, Maya does not cling to them at all. ||42||
Salok:
Listen, my dear friends and companions: without the Lord, there is no salvation.
