> One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:
> Raag Jaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:
> Meditate in remembrance on the Lord - meditate on the Lord; this alone shall be of use to you.
> Abandon your association with Maya, and take shelter in the Sanctuary of God.
> Remember that the pleasures of the world are false; this whole show is just an illusion. ||1||Pause||
> You must understand that this wealth is just a dream. Why are you so proud?
> The empires of the earth are like walls of sand. ||1||
> Servant Nanak speaks the Truth: your body shall perish and pass away.
> Moment by moment, yesterday passed. Today is passing as well. ||2||1||
> Jaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:
> Meditate on the Lord - vibrate on the Lord; your life is slipping away.
> Why am I telling you this again and again? You fool - why don't you understand?
> Your body is like a hail-stone; it melts away in no time at all. ||1||Pause||
> So give up all your doubts, and utter the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
> At the very last moment, this alone shall go along with you. ||1||
> Forget the poisonous sins of corruption, and enshrine the Praises of God in your heart.
> Servant Nanak proclaims that this opportunity is slipping away. ||2||2||
> Jaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:
> O mortal, what will your condition be?
> In this world, you have not listened to the Lord's Name.
> You are totally engrossed in corruption and sin; you have not turned your mind away from them at all. ||1||Pause||
> You obtained this human life, but you have not remembered the Lord in meditation, even for an instant.
> For the sake of pleasure, you have become subservient to your woman, and now your feet are bound. ||1||
> Servant Nanak proclaims that the vast expanse of this world is just a dream.
> Why not meditate on the Lord? Even Maya is His slave. ||2||3||
> Jaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:
> Slipping away - your life is uselessly slipping away.
> Night and day, you listen to the Puraanas, but you do not understand them, you ignorant fool!
> Death has arrived; now where will you run? ||1||Pause||
