Nānak gurmukẖ sabaḏ nisṯārė. ||31||[/I] The Guru willed lives in the Fear the True Akal Purkh and through the Word of the Guru's Bani, refines the unrefined. The Guru willed sings the immaculate, Glorious Praises of the Akal Purkh. The Guru willed attains the supreme, sanctified status. The Guru willed meditates on the Akal Purkh with every hair of his body. O, Nanak, the Guru willed merges in Truth. ||27|| The Guru willed is pleasing to the True Guru; this is contemplation on the Vedas. Pleasing the True Guru, the Guru willed is carried across. Pleasing the True Guru, the Guru willed receives the spiritual wisdom of the Sabd. Pleasing the True Guru, the Guru willed comes to know the path within. The Guru willed attains the unseen and infinite God. O, Nanak, the Guru willed finds the door of liberation. ||28|| The Guru willed speaks the unspoken wisdom. In the midst of his family, the Guru willed lives a spiritual life, and lovingly meditates deep within. The Guru willed obtains the Sabd, and righteous conduct. He knows the mystery of the Sabd, and inspires others to know it. O, Nanak, burning away his ego, he merges in the Akal Purkh. ||29|| The True Creator fashioned the earth for the sake of the Guru willed. There, he set in motion the play of creation and destruction. One who is filled with the Word of the Guru's Sabd enshrines love for the Akal Purkh. Attuned to the Truth, he goes to his home with honor. Without the True Word of the Sabd, no one receives honor. O, Nanak, without the Name, how can one be absorbed in Truth? ||30|| The Guru willed obtains the eight miraculous spiritual powers, and all wisdom. The Guru willed crosses over the terrifying world-ocean, and obtains true understanding. The Guru willed knows the ways of truth and untruth. The Guru willed knows worldliness and renunciation. The Guru willed crosses over, and carries others across as well. O, Nanak, the Guru willed is emancipated through the Sabd. ||31|| Cordially, Virinder S. Grewal [/QUOTE]
