Rh Guru Nanak If a man, foul within and fair without, puff himself up in the world,

His filth will not depart even though he bathe at the sixty- eight places of pilgrimage.

They who wear silk within and rags without, are good in this world.

They have conceived love for God and contemplate beholding Him.

In God's love they weep, in God's love they laugh, or are even silent.

They care not for anything except the true Master.

They beg for food at God's door, and only eat when He giveth it to them.

For them there is but one court as there is but one pen; we and you shall meet for justice.

The accounts of the wicked shall be examined in God's court, and they shall be pressed, O Nanak, like oil in a mill.

XX Thou Thyself didst create the world, and Thou Thyself didst infuse power into it.

Thou beholdest Thine own work, the losing and winning dice upon earth.

Whatever hath come shall depart; his turn shall come to every one.

Why forget that Lord who owneth life and soul

With thine own hands arrange thine own affairs.
