By communion with the Word one can attain the status of
a Siddha,(1) a Pir,(2) a Sura,(3) or a Nath;(4)
By communion with the Word, one can understand the mysteries
of the earth, the supporting bull(5) and the heavens;
By communion with the Word, the earthly regions,
the heavenly plateaux and the nether worlds stand revealed;
By communion with the Word, we can escape unscathed
through the portals of Death;
O Nanak, His devotees live in perpetual ecstasy, for the Word washes away all sin and sorrow.
