Pauree:
DADDA: This is not your true place; you must know where that place really is.
You shall come to realize the way to that place, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
This place, here, is established by hard work,
but not one iota of this shall go there with you.
The value of that place beyond is known only to those,
upon whom the Perfect Lord God casts His Glance of Grace.
That permanent and true place is obtained in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy;
O Nanak, those humble beings do not waver or wander. ||29||
