Some are counterfeit, and some are genuine. He Himself is the Appraiser.

The genuine are placed in His Treasury, while the counterfeit are thrown away.

The counterfeit are thrown out of the True Court-unto whom should they complain?

The True Guru converts the counterfeit into genuine; through the Word of the Shabad, He embellishes and exalts us.
