This is the age of the True Guru's Teachings. • The Shabad is the Guru, upon whom I lovingly focus my consciousness; I am the chaylaa, the disciple. • Speaking the Unspoken Speech, I remain unattached. • O Nanak, throughout the ages, Vaheuru - the Lord of the World is my Guru. • I contemplate the sermon of the Shabad, the Word of the One God. • The Gurmukh puts out the fire of egotism. ||44||

  11. Bhai Gurdaas Ji’s comments: • bwby kIqI isD goSt Sbd SWiq isDW ivc AweI ] ijx mylw iSvrwq dw Kt drSn AwdyS krweI] isD boln SuB bcn DMn nwnk qyrI vfI kmweI] vfw purK pRgitAw kiljug AMdr joq jgweI] myilEN bwbw auiTAw mulqwny dI izAwrq jweI] AgoN pIr mulqwn dy duD ktorw Br lY AweI] bwby kF kr bgl qy cMbylI du`D ivc imlweI] ijauN swgr ivc gMg smweI ]ôô] • Baba has discussions with the Sidhs and because of the energy of the shabad those Sidhs attained peace. • Conquering the Sivratri fair Baba made the followers of six philosophies bow. • Now, speaking benign words, the Siddhs said, Nanak, your achievement is great. • You, emerging like a greatman in kalyug have diffused the light (of knowledge) all around. • Getting up from that fair, Baba went to the pilgrimage of Multan. • In Multan, the Peer presented a bowl of milk filled up to brims (which means That Faqirs here are already in plenty). • Baba took out a jasmine flower from his bag and floated it on the milk (which meant that he wasn’t going to put anybody to trouble). • It was such a scene as if the Ganges were merging into the sea.
