Rh Under the Guru's instruction, the Name is the helper of my soul; singing God's praises is my occupation. Exceedingly fortunate are the men of God who have faith in Him and thirst for Him: On obtaining the name of God, they are satisfied; when men meet the company of the saints, God's attributes are known. They who obtain not the relish of God s name are unfortunate, and shall go to the god of death. Curses on the lives, curses on the hopes of living, of those who enter not the true Guru's protection and society! The saints who have obtained the society of the true Guru are those on whose foreheads it was so written from the beginning. Blest is that true society, Nanak, by meeting which the relish of God is obtained, and the Name manifested.

O my soul, why proposest thou exertion when God Himself is engaged in effort for thee? He even putteth their food before the insects which He created in rocks and stones.
