ਰਮਣੰ ਕੇਵਲੰ ਕੀਰਤਨੰ ਸੁਧਰਮੰ ਦੇਹ ਧਾਰਣਹ ॥

ramanan kevalan keeratanan sudharaman deh dhaaranah |

To sing the Kirtan of God's Praises is the righteous duty incurred by taking birth in this human body.

ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਾਰਾਇਣ ਨਾਨਕ ਪੀਵਤੰ ਸੰਤ ਨ ਤ੍ਰਿਪੵਤੇ ॥੨੬॥

amrit naam naaraaein naanak peevatan sant na tripayate |26|

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is Ambrosial Nectar, O Nanak. The Saints drink it in, and never have enough of it. ||26||

ਸਹਣ ਸੀਲ ਸੰਤੰ ਸਮ ਮਿਤ੍ਰਸੵ ਦੁਰਜਨਹ ॥

sehan seel santan sam mitrasay durajanah |

The Saints are tolerant and good-natured; friends and enemies are the same to them.

ਨਾਨਕ ਭੋਜਨ ਅਨਿਕ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰੇਣ ਨਿੰਦਕ ਆਵਧ ਹੋਇ ਉਪਤਿਸਟਤੇ ॥੨੭॥

naanak bhojan anik prakaaren nindak aavadh hoe upatisattate |27|

O Nanak, it is all the same to them, whether someone offers them all sorts of foods, or slanders them, or draws weapons to kill them. ||27||
