Jor Na Surti Giyan Vichar
Jor Na Jugati Chutte Sansar
Awareness and awakening is not in our power
The path of liberation is also not in our power
Pavan Pani Agni Patal
Tis Vich Dharti Thaap Rakhi Dharamsal ( a temporary place to rest, during the journey)
Having created Air, water, fire and nether regions
The Lord amidst them installed Earth - The place for Karma and Dharma
In this Pauri, Guru Nanak establishes the concept of "Karmbhoomi". Man's very sojourn on Earth is one of action and experience. One has to justify his very existence on earth through faithful performance of duties assigned and march towards his onward spiritual journey. All actions will be judged is again meant to help us cultivate virtue and a persistent endeavor to win the Divine Grace.
I understand another meaning from these lines. If you understand this body as earth and realise that all the mentioned elements are within this body. All actions/ karmas are recorded by the soul within and justice is delivered as those with negative vibrations of fear, hatred, jealousy, revenge, anger etc brings unrest / hell and the positive vibrations of gratitude, love, kindness, happiness etc bring peace/ heaven. These vibrations and the corresponding feelings stay with the soul even after the physical body has been destroyed. These unresolved feelings cause the soul to take form again to fulfil the unfulfilled desires.

The Lord amidst them installed Earth -
The place for Karma and Dharma
Their actions are to be judged
In the True court of the True Lord
The approved there look respectful
Bearing the Mark of Master graceful

Make continence your furnace and patience the forge
Let Vedas be your weapon for divine knowledge
God's fear be your bellows and penance the fire
Make your heart the pot to be filled with Love of God
Then the truth will emerge from the True Mint
Whom Divine Grace is bestowed, they do this everyday

Air is the Guru, Water the father and Earth the great mother
