Appendix 5
Mliya has spread its net everywhere to catch us. There is no happiness in the home of the hwnble Nor in the lofty mansions of the rich. ln false pursuits we waste our lives We joy in the possession of horses and elephants In armies and ministers and retinues of servants, Thus do we put the halter round our necks And fasten the noose of the 'I aru'. We wander in all directions seelc.ing power We sport in the company of damsels And being beggars Dream ourselves to be kings. One truth has the True Guru told me What the Lord do.es, His followers should accept as the best. Nanak, the servant, says: By lc.illing thoughts of self and merging in Him Is found peace, 0 brother of mine Only thus we find God who is Rama.
anik jalan nahi hot chu/Jcimi It is not through trickery that one gets release However many the tricks one tries. Much learning only increases the load of sonows. It is only service and the love of God That takes one with honour to His lliut. 0 Soul of mine! if you make the name of the Lord your shelter No ill-wind shall harm you.
As the sight of a boat on stormy seas As the light of a lamp in the dark As the warmth of fire in winter's cold Docs prayer bring solace to the soul.
The thirst of your soul will be quenched Your hopes fulfilled Your mind will cease to wander For nectar is the name of the Lord And the friendship of godly men. The healing balm of prayer is given only to him To whom the Lord is gracious and grants the boon.
