O foolish mind, why do you cry and bewail? You shall obtain your pre-ordained destiny. God is the Giver of pain and pleasure. Abandon others, and think of Him alone. Whatever He does take comfort in that. Why do you wander around, you ignorant fool? What things did you bring with you? You cling to worldly pleasures like a greedy moth. Dwell upon the Lords Name in your heart. O Nanak, thus you shall return to your home with honor. || 4 || This merchandise, which you have come to obtain the Lords Name is obtained in the home of the Saints. Renounce your egotistical pride, and with your mind, purchase the Lords Name measure it out within your heart. Load up this merchandise, and set out with the Saints. Give up other corrupt entanglements. Blessed, blessed, everyone will call you, and your face shall be radiant in the Court of the Lord. In this trade, only a few are trading. Nanak is forever a sacrifice to them. || 5 || Wash the feet of the Holy, and drink in this water. Dedicate your soul to the Holy. Take your cleansing bath in the dust of the feet of the Holy. To the Holy, make your life a sacrifice. Service to the Holy is obtained by great good fortune. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the Kirtan of the Lords Praise is sung. From all sorts of dangers, the Saint saves us. Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, we taste the ambrosial essence. Seeking the Protection of the Saints, we have come to their door. All comforts, O Nanak, are so obtained.
