There is one God, whose name is true, the creator, beyond fear, beyond vengeance, timeless, unborn, self-existent, and benevolent by the Guru's grace.
One gets liberated either due to their karma or with the help of saints
He exists now, He will exist in the future, and He has always existed. The creator of the universe is eternal.
He is the king of kings. According to Guru Nanak Dev, the right thing to do is to live according to His will and command.
Conquer your mind and you shall conquer the whole world.
Have contentment, work with love, maintain purity of mind and body, practice contemplation, and have faith in the Lord, viewing all with equanimity.
Then win over your ego and mind.
Purakh means that God is present in His creation.
God is all merciful, kind, generous, and always bestows grace on everyone, whether good, bad, or indifferent.
Guru Nanak Dev has clarified that God is never our enemy, and we need not fear Him.
He is not born, meaning He is beyond the cycle of birth and death, or reincarnations.
He created Himself. Nobody else created Him. He is self-created and self-luminous.
Guru Nanak Dev says that these practices are useless, as they only help cleanse the mind, and unless His grace is upon you, you cannot reach Him.
Therefore, one must rise above these faculties to perceive Him, and this rise above the senses, mind, and intellect comes with His grace.
That which does not change with time is the truth. According to Guru Nanak Dev, only God or the Supreme Being is the truth, as He was true in the beginning, during the ages, and will remain true in the future.
Accept His will.
When one is in tune with the Divine Will, one's ego is not appeased. In this state, one's soul receives the Divine Command, and one understands the Command. The Divine Will is beyond human comprehension, and it brings both joy and suffering. Some receive Divine Forgiveness through the Divine Will, while others are constantly troubled by it. Everyone is subject to the Divine Will, and no one is beyond it. Nanak says that when one understands the Divine Will, one's ego is eliminated.
आप अपना कर्तव्य करें, लेकिन परिणाम को उसके हवाले छोड़ दें। अपने कार्यों का फल उसी तरह स्वीकार करें जैसे आप मंदिर से प्रसाद (कृपा) स्वीकार करते हैं, अर्थात् प्रसाद या कृपा की मात्रा और गुणवत्ता पर प्रश्न न उठाएं और जितना संभव हो उतनी कृपा से स्वीकार करें।
The ego is the biggest hurdle for humans to attain God. Guru Nanak Dev explains that God is the one who creates all forms, lives, and decides their fate, making some high and others low, letting them experience happiness or misery, and some are freed from the cycle of birth and death while others continue in it.
Guru Nanak Dev says that whoever understands that everything happens according to God's will, will not have any personal ego.
