ਸਬਦ ਸੁਰਤ ਹੀਨ ਪਸੂਆ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਦੇਹ ਖੜ ਖਾਏ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਹ ਕੋ ਸੁਆਉ ਹੈ ।
sabad surat heen pasooaa pavitr deh kharr khaae amrit pravaah ko suaau hai |

One who has no perception of Guru’s words is far inferior than an animal who eats hay and grass and yields nectar like milk.

ਗੋਬਰ ਗੋਮੂਤ੍ਰ ਸੂਤ੍ਰ ਪਰਮ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਭਏ ਮਾਨਸ ਦੇਹੀ ਨਿਖਿਧ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਅਪਿਆਉ ਹੈ ।
gobar gomootr sootr param pavitr bhe maanas dehee nikhidh amrit apiaau hai |

According to Hindu mythology, cowdung and cow's urine are considered sacred but cursed is a human body that eats elixir- like food and spreads filth all around.

ਬਚਨ ਬਿਬੇਕ ਟੇਕ ਸਾਧਨ ਕੈ ਸਾਧ ਭਏ ਅਧਮ ਅਸਾਧ ਖਲ ਬਚਨ ਦੁਰਾਉ ਹੈ ।
bachan bibek ttek saadhan kai saadh bhe adham asaadh khal bachan duraau hai |

Those who take the support of the knowledgeable sermons of the True Guru and practice these in their life are superb saintly persons. On the contrary, those who shy away from the teachings of the True Guru are low of status, evil and foolish.

ਰਸਨਾ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਰਸ ਰਸਿਕ ਰਸਾਇਨ ਹੁਇ ਮਾਨਸ ਬਿਖੈ ਧਰ ਬਿਖਮ ਬਿਖੁ ਤਾਉ ਹੈ ।੨੦੧।
rasanaa amrit ras rasik rasaaein hue maanas bikhai dhar bikham bikh taau hai |201|

By meditation on His name, such saintly persons themselves become the fountains of elixir-like Naam. Those who are bereft of the words of the Guru and are engrossed in maya are scary like poisonous snakes and full of venom. (201)
