The Perfect Guru leads them to meet God. The painful noose of death and rebirth is snapped.

Those, upon whom He showers His Mercy - they have perfect karma and conduct. || 2 || They sing the Glories of God, continually, continuously, forever fresh and new. They do not wander in the 8.4 million incarnations. Here and hereafter, they worship the Lord's Feet.
