vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh

The whole world is growing like a garden of flowers. It looks attractive to us and we are engrossed in it's so-called beauty, forgetting about everything else. But just like a garden of flowers, it will eventually wither and die, passing away just as we all will.

Our minds are so foolish and stubborn that there are very few ways to discipline it. (Gurbani/Naam is one of the ways obviously.) We always covet the the wealth of others, the looks/qualities others have or the spouses of others which we wish all for ourselves. It is only when one is rid of all these attachments/greed that they are a True spouse - one which is filled with love for Akaal Purakh and nothing else.

There are probably many deeper meanings to these lines which I cannot see but this is just a rough sketch.
