ੴ

Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:

Children, spouses, men and women in one's household, are all bound by Maya.

At the very last moment, none of them shall stand by you; their love is totally false. ||1||

O man, why do you pamper your body so?

It shall disperse like a cloud of smoke; vibrate upon the One, the Beloved Lord. ||Pause||

There are three ways in which the body can be consumed - it can be thrown into water, given to the dogs, or cremated to ashes.

He considers himself to be immortal; he sits in his home, and forgets the Lord, the Cause of causes. ||2||

In various ways, the Lord has fashioned the beads, and strung them on a slender thread.

The thread shall break, O wretched man, and then, you shall repent and regret. ||3||

He created you, and after creating you, He adorned you - meditate on Him day and night.

God has showered His Mercy upon servant Nanak; I hold tight to the Support of the True Guru. ||4||4||
