20My Dear Lord and Master, my Friend, speaks so sweetly.

21I have grown weary of testing Him, but still, He never speaks harshly to me.

22He does not know any bitter words; the Perfect Lord God does not even consider my faults and demerits.

23It is the Lord's natural way to purify sinners; He does not overlook even an iota of service.

24He dwells in each and every heart, pervading everywhere; He is the nearest of the near.

27My Dear Lord and Master is so beautiful; I am the dust of His Lotus Feet.

28Gazing upon God, I live, and I am at peace; no one else is as great as He is.

29Present at the beginning, end and middle of time, He pervades the sea, the land and the sky.

30Meditating on His Lotus Feet, I have crossed over the sea, the terrifying world-ocean.

32I shall not forsake, even for an instant, my Dear Beloved Lord, the Support of the breath of life.

33The Guru, the True Guru, has instructed me in the contemplation of the True, Inaccessible Lord.

34Meeting with the humble, Holy Saint, I obtained the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and the pains of birth and death left me.

35I have been blessed with peace, poise and abundant bliss, and the knot of egotism has been untied.
