“Many preach sermons, but without the Guru, understanding is not obtained. If someone receives the Glory of the Naam [the Name of the Lord], he is attuned to truth and blessed with honor. Those who are pleasing to You are good; no one is counterfeit or genuine. In the Guru’s Sanctuary we are saved. The assets of the self-willed manmukhs [self-centered individuals] are false. The eight metals of the King are made into coins by the Word of His Shabad [the Divine Word]. The Assayer Himself assays them, and He places the genuine ones in His Treasury. Your Value cannot be appraised; I have seen and tested everything. By speaking, His Depth cannot be found. Abiding in truth, honor is obtained. Through the Guru’s Teachings, I praise You; otherwise, I cannot describe Your Value.” “When one Holy person meets another Holy person, they abide in contentment, through the Love of the Guru. They contemplate the Unspoken Speech, merging in absorption in the True Guru. Drinking in the Ambrosial Nectar, they are contented; they go to the Court of the Lord in robes of honor. In each and every heart the Music of the Lord’s Flute vibrates, night and day, with sublime love for the Shabad [the Divine Word]. Only those few who become Gurmukh [spiritually guided] understand this by instructing their minds. O Nanak, do not forget the Naam [the Name of the Lord]. Practicing the Shabad [the Divine Word] you shall be saved.Siree Raag, First Mehl: There are painted mansions to behold, white-washed, with beautiful doors; they were constructed to give pleasure to the mind, but this is only for the sake of the love of duality. The inner being is empty without love. The body shall crumble into a heap of ashes. O Siblings of Destiny, this body and wealth shall not go along with you. The Lord’s Name is the pure wealth; through the Guru, God bestows this gift. The Lord’s Name is the pure wealth; it is given only by the Giver. One who has the Guru, the Creator, as his Friend, shall not be questioned hereafter. He Himself delivers those who are delivered. He Himself is the Forgiver.”
