Shalok, First Mehl It is difficult to be called
a Muslim if one is truly a Muslim, then he may
be called one. First, let him savor the religion
of the Prophet as sweet then, let his pride of
his possessions be scraped away. Becoming a true
Muslim, a disciple of the faith of Mohammed, let
him put aside the delusion of death and life. As
he submits to God's Will, and surrenders to the
Creator, he is rid of selfishness and
conceit. And when, O Nanak, he is merciful to all
beings, only then shall he be called a Muslim.

Fourth Mehl The sublime state of the True Guru
is not known no one knows what pleases the
Perfect True Guru. Deep within the hearts of His
GurSikhs, the True Guru is pervading. The Guru is
pleased with those who long for His Sikhs. As the
True Guru directs them, they do their work and
chant their prayers. The True Lord accepts the
service of His GurSikhs. But those who want the
GurSikhs to work for them, without the Order of
the True Guru - the Guru's Sikhs shall not come
near them again. One who works diligently for the
Guru, the True Guru - the GurSikhs work for
him. One who comes to deceive, who rises up and
goes out to deceive - the GurSikhs shall never
come near him. Nanak proclaims and announces this
wisdom of God. One who is not pleasing to the
Mind of the True Guru may do his deeds, but that
being will only suffer in terrible pain. 2

nothing lasts forever the world is like a dream.

He did the elephant. 53

And to the future

• What can we learn
• The discipline of a Sikh
• Guru is saviour of all
• Have power but not show it, Have strength but not
  show it. Have status but not show it.

If you are wise, be simple if you are powerful,
be weak and when there is nothing to share, then
share with others. How rare is one who is known
as such a devotee. 128
