What actions help in the world after death?

on p.216 Guru Arjan Dev ji says in Gauree Raag

har bin avar kiraaa birathhae ||
Without the Lord, other actions are useless.

jap thap sa(n)jam karam kamaanae eihi ourai moosae ||1|| rehaao ||
Reciting (without devotion and understanding), intense deep meditation (WITH THE INTENTION TO ACHIEVE SPIRITUAL POWERS NOT TO BE ONE WITH THE GOD), austere self-discipline and rituals - these are plundered in this world (World after death of the physical body). ||1||Pause||

barath naem sa(n)jam mehi rehathaa thin kaa aadt n paaeiaa ||
Fasting, daily rituals, and austere self-discipline - those who keep the practice of these, are rewarded with less than a shell.

aagai chalan aour hai bhaaee oo(n)ehaa kaam n aaeiaa ||1||
Hereafter, the way is different, O Siblings of Destiny. There, these things are of no use at all. ||1||

theerathh naae ar dhharanee bhramathaa aagai t(h)our n paavai ||
Those who bathe at sacred shrines of pilgrimage, and wander over the earth, find no place of rest hereafter.

oohaa kaam n aavai eih bidhh ouhu logan hee patheeaavai ||2||
There, these are of no use at all. By these things, they only please other people. ||2||

chathur baedh mukh bachanee oucharai aagai mehal n paaeeai ||
Reciting the four Vedas from memory, they do not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence hereafter.

boojhai naahee eaek sudhhaakhar ouhu sagalee jhaakh jhakhaaeeai ||3||
Those who do not understand the One Pure Word, utter total nonsense. ||3||

naanak kehatho eihu beechaaraa j kamaavai s paar garaamee ||
Nanak voices this opinion: those who practice it, swim across.

gur saevahu ar naam dhhiaavahu thiaagahu manahu gumaanee ||4||6||164||
Serve the Guru, and meditate on the Naam; renounce the egotistical pride from your mind. ||4||6||164||
