and your sexual desire, anger and desire shall be eaten up.

On the tenth day, regulate your ten doors; on the eleventh day, know that the Lord is One.

On the twelfth day, the five thieves are subdued, and then, O Nanak, the mind is pleased and appeased.

Observe such a fast as this, O Pandit, O religious scholar; of what use are all the other teachings? ||2||

Pauree:

Kings, rulers and monarchs enjoy pleasures and gather the poison of Maya.

In love with it, they collect more and more, stealing the wealth of others.

They do not trust their own children or spouses; they are totally attached to the love of Maya.

But even as they look on, Maya cheats them, and they come to regret and repent.

Bound and gagged at Death's door, they are beaten and punished; O Nanak, it pleases the Will of the Lord. ||21||

Shalok, First Mehl:

The one who lacks spiritual wisdom sings religious songs.

The hungry Mullah turns his home into a mosque.

The lazy unemployed has his ears pierced to look like a Yogi.

Someone else becomes a pan-handler, and loses his social status.

One who calls himself a guru or a spiritual teacher, while he goes around begging

- don't ever touch his feet.

One who works for what he eats, and gives some of what he has

- O Nanak, he knows the Path. ||1||

Section 30 - Raag Saarang - Part 050

First Mehl:

Those mortals whose minds are like deep dark pits do not understand the purpose of life, even when it is explained to them.

Their minds are blind, and their heart-lotuses are upside-down; they look totally ugly.

Some know how to speak, and understand what they are told. They are wise and beautiful.

Some do not understand about the Sound-current of the Naad or the Vedas, music, virtue or vice.

Some are not blessed with understanding, intelligence, or sublime intellect; they do not grasp the mystery of God's Word.

O Nanak, they are donkeys; they are very proud of themselves, but they have no virtues at all. ||2||

Pauree:

To the Gurmukh, everything is sacred: wealth, property, Maya.

Those who spend the wealth of the Lord find peace through giving.

Those who meditate on the Lord's Name shall never be deprived.

The Gurmukhs come to see the Lord, and leave behind the things of Maya.

O Nanak, the devotees do not think of anything else; they are absorbed in the Name of the Lord. ||22||

Shalok, Fourth Mehl:

Those who serve the True Guru are very fortunate.

They are lovingly attuned to the True Shabad, the Word of the One God.

In their own household and family, they are in natural Samaadhi.

O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam are truly detached from the world. ||1||

Fourth Mehl:

Calculated service is not service at all, and what is done is not approved.
