  4. ਗੁਰਿ ਪਾਰਸਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਕੰਚਨੁ ਹੋਏ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਜੋਤਿ ਅਪਾਰ ॥੨॥

    But upon meeting and following the Guru’s teachings, we become pure like gold, and the immaculate light of the infinite God illuminates our mind.

  5. ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਰੰਗੀਐ ਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਰੰਗੁ ਚੜਾਉ ॥

    Without following the Guru’s teachings no one can be imbued with Naam; yes one gets imbued with the Naam only upon meeting the Guru.

    Those who are imbued with the love of the Guru through his revered fear, they merge into God by singing His praises.

  7. ਭੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਲਾਗਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਨਾ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥

    Without the revered fear of God, the mind is not imbued with God’s love and without it the mind does not become immaculate.

    By performing ritualistic acts without fear of God, one still remains false (sinful), and finds no place in God’s presence.

    Without the holy congregation, people remain like beasts and animals.

  12. ਜਿਨਿੑ ਕੀਤੇ ਤਿਸੈ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੑੀ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਸਭਿ ਚੋਰ ॥੬॥
