Guru Nanak ends by warning people of the tricks of the Brahmin, who despite being spiritually ignorant, calls himself wise, who profits off these systems while being a hypocrite. The janeu ceremony is not how you go to the dwelling place of the Divine.
The Guru says that when the compassionate Sovereign (1Force, or IkOankar) bestows grace on a devotee (or servant), then the Sovereign causes the devotee to do only those deeds which are pleasing to the Sovereign — that the devotee is the one who accepts the Command. This is how the devotee arrives at the metaphorical dwelling place of the One — not through middlemen or sacred threads, not through exclusivity and ceremony, not through mantras and outward displays.

When IkOankar, having become compassionate, bestows grace on a devotee, then IkOankar causes the devotee to do only that deed which is pleasing to IkOankar.
That devotee alone serves IkOankar, whom the IkOankar causes to accept Own Command.
Only by accepting the Command, is a devotee approved at IkOankar’s Court.
When a devotee does what is pleasing to IkOankar, then that devotee obtains the reward desired by the mind. Only then is the devotee honored in the Court.
That devotee alone serves IkOankar, whom the IkOankar causes to accept Own Command.
Only by accepting the Command, is a devotee approved at IkOankar’s Court.
When a devotee does what is pleasing to IkOankar, then that devotee obtains the reward desired by the mind. Only then is the devotee honored in the Court.
(When) the Owner, having become compassionate, bestows grace (on a devotee), then, (the Owner) causes to do only that deed (which is pleasing to the Owner).
That devotee (alone) serves, whom (the Owner) causes to accept (Own) command.
(Only) by accepting the command (of the Owner) is (a devotee) approved (at the court of IkOankar); then (that devotee) receives the mansion of the Owner.
(When a devotee) does what is pleasing to the Owner, (then the devotee) obtains that fruit which is desired by (their) mind. (Only) then (is that devotee) honored in the court (of IkOankar).
That devotee (alone) serves, whom (the Owner) causes to accept (Own) command.

(When a devotee) does what is pleasing to the Owner, (then the devotee) obtains that fruit which is desired by (their) mind. (Only) then (is that devotee) honored in the court (of IkOankar).
Through simple linguistic expressions, the pauri states that when the Owner becomes compassionate and bestows grace, only then is the individual able to do things that are acceptable to IkOankar. Only the one who accepts the Command of IkOankar is able to serve as a devotee. Only by accepting the Command can one find IkOankar’s mansion; that individual gets the desired rewards. One who stays in the Will and accepts the Command of IkOankar, receives honor in IkOankar’s court.
