ਈਣ ਦੌਲਤਿ ਨਾਯਾਬ ਕਿ ਮਾ ਯਾਫ਼ਤਾਏਮ ।੧੬।

taa kai choo sagaan bar usatakhaan jang kunem |Then you should not utter any other word except the word of worship and meditation. (303)
ਦੁਨਿਆ ਮਾਲੂਅਮ ਅਹਿਲਿ ਦੁਨਿਆ ਮਾਲੂਅਮ ।੧੭।
duniaa maalooam ahil duniaa maalooam |17|All this tangible and non-tangible boons are because of the meditation,
ਗੋਯਾ ਅਗਰ ਆਣ ਜਮਾਲ ਦੀਦਨ ਦਾਰੀ ।
goyaa agar aan jamaal deedan daaree |Without meditation, this life of ours is only mortification and humiliation. (304)
ਅਜ਼ ਖ਼ੁਦ ਹਵਸ ਮੈਲਿ ਰਮੀਦਨ ਦਾਰੀ ।
az khud havas mail rameedan daaree |The Almighty God has also said,
ਜ਼ੀਣ ਦੀਦਾ ਮਬੀਣ ਕਿ ਹਜ਼ਾਬ ਸਤ ਤੁਰਾ ।
zeen deedaa mabeen ki hazaab sat turaa |Anyone who transformed himself into a man of God is redeemed." (305) Anyone who proclaimed through his own mouth that he was God, The Islamic religious law crucified him just like Mansoor. (306) Inebriated with God is, in fact, to be always in a state of alertness, Even dreaming while asleep for the knowledgeable is indeed like staying awake. (307) In reality, a disrespectful faces the consequences (reaps the fruits) of his own actions, Because, it is the 'respect' and 'civility' that is capable of showing all the direction of the right path. (308) If you have transformed yourself from head to toe into Akaalpurakh's form, And, If you have merged into that unparalleled and matchless Waaheguru, (309) Then you should adopt the path of meditation, And, become His (favorite) person by holding on to the divine spiritual passage of meditation. (310) One should assume His presence under all circumstances, Considering Him Omnipresent and Immanent, and also take it that He is capable of seeing everything everywhere. (311) There is no education except that of respect and civility in the path of God, It is not prudent for His seeker-devotee to accept anything but His Order. (312) The seekers of the Divine Spirit are always respectful, They are also satiated with reverence while remembering Him. (313) What does an apostate know about the tradition of those noble persons? The efforts of an atheist to get a glimpse of Akaalpurakh will always be ineffective. (314) A disrespectful can never find the path leading towards the Divine Spirit; No strayed person has ever been able to find the path of God and much less to reach Him. (315) It is reverence that is the guide to the path of Waaheguru; And, an atheist remains blank from receiving His blessings. (316) How can an atheist find the way to the Almighty, Who has been condemned due to the anger of Waaheguru?(317) If you care to seek the shelter (and agree to function in their shadow) of the noble souls of God, You will receive teachings and instructions about respectability there. (318) Coming to this place (of noble persons), even the apostates become capable to teach lessons of reverence, Here, even extinguished lamps begin to spread light throughout the world. (319) O Akaalpurakh! Kindly bestow reverence even on the irreverent, So that they can spend their lives in Your remembrance. (320) If you can relish the savor (sweet taste) of Waaheguru's remembrance, Then O good man! You can become immortal. (321) Consider this body of dirt as permanent for this reason Because the devotion for Him have established permanently in the fortress of your heart. (322) The love and elation for Akaalpurakh are the life-line of the soul, There is a wealth of faith and religion in His memory. (323) How can the euphoria and elation for Waaheguru abide in every heart, And, how can He take refuge in the body made up of dirt. (324) When your fondness for Akaalpurakh supported you, Then, take it for granted that you will obtain control and have the divine eternal wealth. (325) The dust of His path is like a collyrium for our eyes and head, This dust is much more valuable than the crown and the thrones for the enlightened. (326) This worldly wealth is not ever lasting, You should accept this according to the verdict of the true devotees of God. (327) Meditation of Waaheguru is always absolutely essential for you, And, the discourse about Him makes you steady and immovable forever. (328) The devotees of Akaalpurakh are intimately connected to the divine knowledge, And, the achievement of divine knowledge is completely absorbed inside their souls. (329) The throne of devotion for Akaalpurakh is permanent and indestructible, Although every peak has a trough. (330) The marvel of the zest for God's love is eternal and non-destructible, Wish were it that we can get just one particle of His devotion. (331) Whosoever is lucky enough to obtain such a particle, he becomes immortal, In reality, his desire (to meet with Akaalpurakh) is fulfilled. (332) When he reached the stage of fulfillment, That particle of the strong desire for His devotion gets seeded into his heart. (333) The divine nectar oozes out of his every hair, And the whole world, with his aroma, becomes alive and rises up. (334) Fortunate is that person who has attained the Provident; And, who has turned himself away (detached) from every worldly items except the memory of God. (335) Even while living in worldly guise, he is detached from every materialistic thing, Like the Entity of God, he maintains a hidden profile. (336) Outwardly he might be appearing to be in the grip of a fistful of dust, Inwardly, he is always engaged in talking about the chaste Akaalpurakh and abides with Him. (337) Outwardly, he might appear to be immersed in love for his child and wife, In reality, he always abides (in thought and action) with his God. (338) Outwardly, he might seem to be inclined towards 'desires and greed', But inwardly, he remains chaste and sacred in the memory of Waaheguru. (339) Outwardly, he might appear to be paying attention to horses and camels, But inwardly, he remains detached from the worldly hub-hub and noises. (340) He might appear to be involved in gold and silver outwardly, But he is, in fact, master of land and water inwardly. (341) His intrinsic worth gets revealed slowly and gradually, In fact, he becomes a casket of fragrance. (342) His internal and external selves become one and the same, Both the worlds become followers of his command. (343) His heart and tongue are completely immersed in Akaalpurkh's remembrance at all times and for ever, His tongue becomes his heart, and his heart his tongue. (344) Those saintly souls who have converged with God have said clearly, That persons of God remain comfortable and happy while they are in meditation." (345)
