They have wasted away their whole lives in vain, those faithless cynics die regretting and repenting.

Those who have not met the Guru, the True Guru, are foolish and insane - they are faithless cynics.

One who weeps for the sake of worldly objects, O Baba, weeps totally in vain.

But he whose father is dead, while his grandfather lives, shall, after pronouncing his father s name, mention that of his great grandfather.

If there is one God, then there is only His way to attain Him, not another. One must follow that way and reject the other. Worship not him who is born only to die, but Him who is eternal and is contained in the whole universe.

Those who do not serve the True Guru waste away their lives in vain. O Nanak, the Lord does just as He pleases. No one has any say in this.
