Those who go around doing even religious deeds egotistically end up losing spiritually and are always under the fear of the demon of death,
Wale ambao wanazunguka wakifanya hata vitendo vya kidini kwa ubinafsi wanashindwa kiroho na daima wamo na uoga wa pepo wa kifo,
ਜਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਨਿ ਸੇ ਉਬਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਤੀ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਇ ॥੧॥

gur sabad dirhaavai rang si-o bin kirpaa la-i-aa na jaa-ay.
The Guru lovingly blesses and firmly installs the Word in whoever comes to him but finding the True Guru is also a blessing of God.
Guru anabariki kwa upendo na kusakinisha kwa uthabiti Neno katika yeyote anayekuja kwake lakini kupata Guru wa kweli pia ni baraka ya Mungu.
