Kabeer, you have not shaved your mind, so why do you shave your head?

Whatever is done, is done by the mind; it is useless to shave your head.

Keep 'em up guys! :TH:

[naam_jap]

Emotional attachment

----------------------------------

O emotional attachment, you are the invincible warrior of the battlefield

of life; you totally crush and destroy even the most powerful.

You entice and fascinate even the heavenly heralds, celestial singers,

gods, mortals, beasts and birds.

Nanak bows in humble surrender to the Lord; he seeks the Sanctuary of the

Lord of the Universe. ||45||

<admin-profanity filter activated> desire

---------------------

O <admin-profanity filter activated> desire, you lead the mortals to hell; you make them wander in

reincarnation through countless species.

You cheat the consciousness, and pervade the three worlds. You destroy

meditation, penance and virtue.

But you give only shallow pleasure, while you make the mortals weak and

unsteady; you pervade the high and the low.

Your fear is dispelled in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, O

Nanak, through the Protection and Support of the Lord. ||46||

Anger

---------

O anger, you are the root of conflict; compassion never rises up in you.

You take the corrupt, sinful beings in your power, and make them dance like

monkeys.

Associating with you, mortals are debased and punished by the Messenger of

Death in so many ways.

O Destroyer of the pains of the poor, O Merciful God, Nanak prays for You

to protect all beings from such anger. ||47||

Greed

---------

O greed, you cling to even the great, assaulting them with countless waves.

You cause them to run around wildly in all direct

ions, wobbling and

wavering unsteadily.

You have no respect for friends, ideals, relations, mother or father.

You make them do what they should not do. You make them eat what they

should not eat. You make them accomplish what they should not accomplish.

Save me, save me - I have come to Your Sanctuary, O my Lord and Master;

Nanak prays to the Lord. ||48||

Egotism

------------

O egotism, you are the root of birth and death and the cycle of

reincarnation; you are the very soul of sin.

You forsake friends, and hold tight to enemies. You spread out countless

illusions of Maya.

You cause the living beings to come and go until they are exhausted. You

lead them to experience pain and pleasure.

You lead them to wander lost in the terrible wilderness of doubt; you lead

them to contract the most horrible, incurable diseases.

The only Physician is the Supreme Lord, the Transcendent Lord God. Nanak

worships and adores the Lord, Har, Har, Haray. ||49||

Living in the world, it is like a wild jungle. One's relatives are like

dogs, jackals and donkeys.

-----------

In this difficult place, the mind is intoxicated with the wine of emotional

attachment; the five unconquered thieves lurk there.

The mortals wander lost in love and emotional attachment, fear and doubt;

they are caught in the sharp, strong noose of egotism.

The ocean of fire is terrifying and impassable. The distant shore is so far

away; it cannot be reached.

Vibrate and meditate on the Lord of the World, in the Saadh Sangat, the

Company of the Holy; O Nanak, by His Grace, we are saved at the Lotus Feet

of the Lord. ||58||
