1You must acknowledge this, that without the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, it turns into burnt ashes. ||195||

2Kabeer, the pure drop of water falls from the sky, and mixes with the dust.

3Millions of clever people may try, but they will fail - it cannot be made separate again. ||196||

4Kabeer, I was going on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and God met me on the way.

5He scolded me and asked, ""Who told you that I am only there?""||197||

6Kabeer, I went to Mecca - how many times, Kabeer?

7O Lord, what is the problem with me? You have not spoken to me with Your Mouth. ||198||

8Kabeer, they oppress living beings and kill them, and call it proper.

9When the Lord calls for their account, what will their condition be? ||199||

10Kabeer, it is tyranny to use force; the Lord shall call you to account.

11When your account is called for, your face and mouth shall be beaten. ||200||

12Kabeer, it is easy to render your account, if your heart is pure.

13In the True Court of the Lord, no one will seize you. ||201||

14Kabeer: O duality, you are mighty and powerful in the earth and the sky.

15The six Shaastras and the eighty-four Siddhas are entrenched in skepticism. ||202||

16Kabeer, nothing is mine within myself. Whatever there is, is Yours, O Lord.

17If I surrender to You what is already Yours, what does it cost me? ||203||

18Kabeer, repeating, ""You, You"", I have become like You. Nothing of me remains in myself.

19When the difference between myself and others is removed, then wherever I look, I see only You. ||204||

20Kabeer, those who think of evil and entertain false hopes

21- none of their desires shall be fulfilled; they shall depart in despair. ||205||

22Kabeer, whoever meditates in remembrance on the Lord, he alone is happy in this world.

23One who is protected and saved by the Creator Lord, shall never waver, here or hereafter. ||206||

24Kabeer, I was being crushed like sesame seeds in the oil-press, but the True Guru saved me.

25My pre-ordained primal destiny has now been revealed. ||207||

26Kabeer, my days have passed, and I have postponed my payments; the interest on my account continues to increase.

27I have not meditated on the Lord and my account is still pending, and now, the moment of my death has come! ||208||

28Fifth Mehla:

29Kabeer, the mortal is a barking dog, chasing after a carcass.

30By the Grace of good karma, I have found the True Guru, who has saved me. ||209||

31Fifth Mehla:

32Kabeer, the earth belongs to the Holy, but it is being occupied by thieves.

33They are not a burden to the earth; they receive its blessings. ||210||

34Fifth Mehla:

35Kabeer, the rice is beaten with a mallet to get rid of the husk.

36When people sit in evil company, the Righteous Judge of Dharma calls them to account. ||211||

37Trilochan says, O Naam Dayv, Maya has enticed you, my friend.

38Why are you printing designs on these sheets, and not focusing your consciousness on the Lord? ||212||

39Naam Dayv answers, O Trilochan, chant the Lord's Name with your mouth.
