Those who lose their own selves obtain everything.

Those who go to see the Guru obtain all treasures. Those whose minds are attached to the Guru's Feet are very fortunate, O my mother. The Guru is the Giver, the Guru is All-powerful. The Guru is All-pervading, contained amongst all. The Guru is the Transcendent Lord, the Supreme Lord God. The Guru lifts up and saves those who are drowning.

If Nanak could be the dust of their feet, then he, the ignorant one, might also obtain some. Who is our mother, and who is our father? Where did we come from? We are formed from the fire of the womb within, and the bubble of water of the sperm. For what purpose are we created?

O Beloved Lord, I meditate on You continually; I obtain the fruits of my mind's desires.

O Nanak, make the True Guru your friend; going to His Court, you shall obtain the True Lord.

Where you are bound to lose by speaking, there, you ought to remain silent.
