1187 : 929
What makes you think that it is real? ||1||

1187 : 930
Wealth, spouse, property and household

1187 : 931
- none of them shall go along with you; you must know that this is true! ||2||

1187 : 932
Only devotion to the Lord shall go with you.

1187 : 933
Says Nanak, vibrate and meditate on the Lord with single-minded love. ||3||4||

1187 : 934
Basant, Ninth Mehl:

1187 : 935
Why do you wander lost, O mortal, attached to falsehood and greed?

1187 : 936
Nothing has been lost yet - there is still time to wake up! ||1||Pause||

1187 : 937
You must realize that this world is nothing more than a dream.

1187 : 938
In an instant, it shall perish; know this as true. ||1||

1187 : 939
The Lord constantly abides with you.

1187 : 940
Night and day, vibrate and meditate on Him, O my friend. ||2||

1187 : 941
At the very last instant, He shall be your Help and Support.

1187 : 942
Says Nanak, sing His Praises. ||3||5||

1187 : 943
Basant, First Mehl, Ashtapadees, First House, Du-Tukees:

1187 : 944
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1187 : 945
The world is a crow; it does not remember the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

1187 : 946
Forgetting the Naam, it sees the bait, and pecks at it.

1187 : 947
The mind wavers unsteadily, in guilt and deceit.

1187 : 948
I have shattered my attachment to the false world. ||1||

1187 : 949
The burden of sexual desire, anger and corruption is unbearable.

1187 : 950
Without the Naam, how can the mortal maintain a virtuous lifestyle? ||1||Pause||

1187 : 951
The world is like a house of sand, built on a whirlpool;

1187 : 952
it is like a bubble formed by drops of rain.

1187 : 953
It is formed from a mere drop, when the Lord's wheel turns round.

1187 : 954
The lights of all souls are the servants of the Lord's Name. ||2||

1187 : 955
My Supreme Guru has created everything.

1187 : 956
I perform devotional worship service to You, and fall at Your Feet, O Lord.

1187 : 957
Imbued with Your Name, I long to be Yours.

Continued...

1187 : 958
Those who do not let the Naam become manifest within themselves, depart like thieves in the end. ||3||

1187 : 959
The mortal loses his honor, gathering sin and corruption.

1187 : 960
But imbued with the Lord's Name, you shall go to your true home with honor.

1187 : 961
God does whatever He wills.

1187 : 962
One who abides in the Fear of God, becomes fearless, O my mother. ||4||

1187 : 963
The woman desires beauty and pleasure.

1187 : 964
But betel leaves, garlands of flowers and sweet tastes lead only to disease.

1187 : 965
The more she plays and enjoys, the more she suffers in sorrow.

1187 : 966
But when she enters into the Sanctuary of God, whatever she wishes comes to pass. ||5||

1187 : 967
She wears beautiful clothes with all sorts of decorations.

1187 : 968
But the flowers turn to dust, and her beauty leads her into evil.

1187 : 969
Hope and desire have blocked the doorway.

1187 : 970
Without the Naam, one's hearth and home are deserted. ||6||

1187 : 971
O princess, my daughter, run away from this place!

1187 : 972
Chant the True Name, and embellish your days.

1187 : 973
Serve your Beloved Lord God, and lean on the Support of His Love.

1187 : 974
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, abandon your thirst for corruption and poison. ||7||

1187 : 975
My Fascinating Lord has fascinated my mind.

1187 : 976
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I have realized You, Lord.

1187 : 977
Nanak stands longingly at God's Door.

1187 : 978
I am content and satisfied with Your Name; please shower me with Your Mercy. ||8||1||

1187 : 979
Basant, First Mehl:

1187 : 980
The mind is deluded by doubt; it comes and goes in reincarnation.

1187 : 981
It is lured by the poisonous lure of Maya.

1187 : 982
It does not remain stable in the Love of the One Lord.

1187 : 983
Like the fish, its neck is pierced by the hook. ||1||

1187 : 984
The deluded mind is instructed by the True Name.

1187 : 985
It contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad, with intuitive ease. ||1||Pause||
