English Translation of University Dhuni

True learning induces in the mind service of mankind.

One subduing the five passions has truly taken abode at holy

bathing-spots (1)

The mind attuned to the infinite is the true singing of

ankle-bells in ritual dances.

With this how dare Yama intimidate me in

the hereafter ? (Pause 1)

One renouncing desire is the true Sanayasi.

From continence comes true joy of living in the body (2)

One contemplating to subdue the flesh is the truly

Compassionate Jain ascetic.

Such a one subduing the self, forbears harming others. (3)

Thou Lord, art one and Sole.

Many Thy forms-

The manifold play beyond Nanak's comprehension. (4) (25)

(Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Part 356)
