ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀ · ਅੰਗ ੯੫੬

Salok M: 3

While humanity wanders entangled in worldly expectations, rare is the seeker who detaches from earthly illusions to uncover the ultimate meaning of life.

Nanak speaks: the arrival of that being is highly exalted who puts to death the false ego while breathing. Awakening to the Truth of the Divine's Name, they alone achieve the glorious victory of human life.

M: 3

What is within the grasp of this mortal ambition that you should fall into despair? It holds no sovereign power over you.

What power does this wretched longing possess, when it is the Supreme who casts the mind into delusion, causing it to wander from His Divine Will?

Pauri ॥

Worthless is the breath drawn in this universe without searching for the Divine Name; a life surrendered entirely to the shadow of worldly illusion and craving is but an empty, condemned pursuit.

The Divine is the supreme and boundless Benefactor to all; the Divine opulence of His Holy Name is an everlasting fortune that can never diminish, exhaust, or fade away.

The seekers who adore the Divine with every passing breath, never letting their awareness slip from His remembrance for an instant, embody ultimate purity.

Let your voice vibrate with the Name of the Divine alone—the All-Knowing Knower of hearts. While no mortal mind can grasp His infinite vastness, His Grace dissolves every barrier, revealing His presence within.

Shining through all creation, the Divine is present everywhere; unto that Sovereign Divine of all powers, who vibrates within every element, Nanak offers his entire being.
