The Sikh of the Guru speaks less, sleeps less and eats little. Repudiating other's body (woman) and other's wealth he avoids listening to the slander of others.

Fourth Mehl: One who calls himself a Sikh of the Guru, the True Guru, shall rise in the early morning hours and meditate on the Lord's Name. Upon arising early in the morning, he is to bathe, and cleanse himself in the pool of nectar. Following the Instructions of the Guru, he is to chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. All sins, misdeeds and negativity shall be erased. Then, at the rising of the sun, he is to sing Gurbani; whether sitting down or standing up, he is to meditate on the Lord's Name. One who meditates on my Lord, Har, Har, with every breath and every morsel of food - that GurSikh becomes pleasing to the Guru's Mind. That person, unto whom my Lord and Master is kind and compassionate - upon that GurSikh, the Guru's Teachings are bestowed. Servant Nanak begs for the dust of the feet of that GurSikh, who himself chants the Naam, and inspires others to chant it. 2

      The world is like a crow;   with its beak, it croaks spiritual wisdom. But deep within there is greed, falsehood and pride. Without the Name of the Lord, your thin outer covering shall wear off, you fool. ||1||     jag k ooaa m u kh ch u (n)ch g iaa n || a(n)thar l o bh jh oo t(h) abh i m aa n || b i n n aa v ai p aa j lehag n i dh aa n ||1||     jgu kaUAw muiK cuMc igAwnu ] AMqir loBu JUTu AiBmwnu ] ibnu nwvY pwju lhgu indwin ]1]     This Shabad is by Guru Amar Daas Ji in Raag Bilaaval on Pannaa 832  

There is no pain as great as the pain of Maya The world is polluted with the filth of egotism , suffering in pain. This filth sticks to them because of their love of duality . This filth of egotism cannot be washed away, even by taking cleansing baths at hundreds of sacred shrines. Performing all sorts of rituals, people are smeared with twice as much filth. This filth is not removed by studying. Go ahead, and ask the wise ones. 1 O my mind, coming to the Sanctuary of the Guru, you shall become immaculate and pure. The self-willed manmukhs have grown weary of chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, but their filth cannot be removed. 1Pause With a polluted mind, devotional service cannot be performed, and the Naam, the Name of the Lord, cannot be obtained. The filthy, self-willed manmukhs die in filth, and they depart in disgrace. By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to abide in the mind, and the filth of egotism is dispelled. Like a lamp lit in the darkness, the spiritual wisdom of...

At the very last moment, one who thinks of wealth, and dies in such thoughts, shall be reincarnated over and over again, in the form of serpents. ||1|| O sister, do not forget the Name of the Lord of the Universe. ||Pause|| At the very last moment, he who thinks of women, and dies in such thoughts, shall be reincarnated over and over again as a prostitute. ||2|| At the very last moment, one who thinks of his children, and dies in such thoughts, shall be reincarnated over and over again as a pig. ||3|| At the very last moment, one who thinks of mansions, and dies in such thoughts, shall be reincarnated over and over again as a goblin. ||4|| At the very last moment, one who thinks of the Lord, and dies in such thoughts, says Trilochan, that man shall be liberated; the Lord shall abide in his heart. ||5||2|| a(n)th kaal jo lashhamee simarai aisee chi(n)thaa mehi jae marai || sarap jon val val aoutharai ||1|| aree baaee gobidh naam math bees...

Guru Arjan Dev Ji The desires of the greatest of the great kings and landlords cannot be satisfied. They remain engrossed in Maya, intoxicated with the pleasures of their wealth; their eyes see nothing else at all. 1 No one has ever found satisfaction in sin and corruption. The flame is not satisfied by more fuel; how can one be satisfied without the Lord? Pause Day after day, he eats his meals with many different foods, but his hunger is not eradicated. He runs around like a dog, searching in the four directions. 2 The lustful, lecherous man desires many women, and he never stops peeking into the homes of others. Day after day, he commits adultery again and again, and then he regrets his actions; he wastes away in misery and greed. 3 The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is incomparable and priceless; it is the treasure of Ambrosial Nectar. The Saints abide in peace, poise and bliss; O Nanak, through the Guru, this is known. 46 vadd ae vadd ae r aa jan ar bh oo man th aa k ee thr i san...

Guru Amar Das ji The wealth of the Lord's Name is immaculate, and absolutely infinite. The Word of the Guru's Shabad is over-flowing with treasure. Know that, except for the wealth of the Name, all other wealth is poison. The egotistical people are burning in their attachment to Maya. 1 How rare is that Gurmukh who tastes the sublime essence of the Lord. He is always in bliss, day and night; through perfect good destiny, he obtains the Name.

You are the Giver, O Lord, O Cherisher, my Master, my Husband Lord. Each and every moment, You cherish and nurture me; I am Your child, and I rely upon You alone. 1 I have only one tongue – which of Your Glorious Virtues can I describe? Unlimited, infinite Lord and Master – no one knows Your limits. 1Pause You destroy millions of my sins, and teach me in so many ways. I am so ignorant - I understand nothing at all. Please honor Your innate nature, and save me! 2 I seek Your Sanctuary - You are my only hope. You are my companion, and my best friend. Save me, O Merciful Saviour Lord; Nanak is the slave of Your home. 312 thum dhaathae t(h)aakur prathipaalak naaeik khasam hamaarae nimakh nimakh thum hee prathipaalahu ham baarik thumarae dhhaarae 1 jihavaa eaek kavan gun keheeai baesumaar baea(n)th suaamee thaero a(n)th n kin hee leheeai 1 rehaao kott paraadhh hamaarae kha(n)ddahu anik bidhhee samajhaavahu ham agiaan alap math thhoree thum aapan biradh rakhaavahu 2 thumaree saran ...

Guru Arjan Dev Ji Without the Lord, nothing is of any use. You are totally attached to that Enticer Maya; she is enticing you. 1Pause You shall have to leave behind your gold, your woman and your beautiful bed; you shall have to depart in an instant. You are entangled in the lures of sexual pleasures, and you are eating poisonous drugs. 1 You have built and adorned a palace of straw, and under it, you light a fire. Sitting all puffed-up in such a castle, you stubborn-minded fool, what do you think you will gain? 2 The five thieves stand over your head and seize you. Grabbing you by your hair, they will drive you on. You do not see them, you blind and ignorant fool; intoxicated with ego, you just keep sleeping. 3 The net has been spread out, and the bait has been scattered; like a bird, you are being trapped. Says Nanak, my bonds have been broken; I meditate on the True Guru, the Primal Being. 4288 b i n har k aa m n aa vath h ae j aa s i o r aa ch m aa ch th u mh l a...

O my Lord and Master, I know nothing. My mind has sold out, and is in Maya's hands. 1Pause You are called the Lord and Master, the Guru of the World. I am called a lustful being of the Dark Age of Kali Yuga. 1 The five vices have corrupted my mind. Moment by moment, they lead me further away from the Lord. 2 naa thh kashh oo a n j aa no man m aa e iaa k ai h aa thh b i k aa no 1 reh aa o th u m keh ee ath ha jagath g u r s uaa m ee ham keh ee ath kal i j u g k ae k aa m ee 1 e i n pa(n)chan m ae r o man j b i g aa r i ou pal pal har j ee th ae a(n)thar p aa r i ou 2 nwQ kCUA n jwnau ] mnu mwieAw kY hwiQ ibkwnau ]1] rhwau ] qum khIAq hO jgq gur suAwmI ] hm khIAq kiljug ky kwmI ]1] ien pMcn myro mnu ju ibgwirE ] plu plu hir jI qy AMqru pwirE ]2] This Shabad is by Bhagat Ravi Daas Ji in Raag Jaithsree on Pannaa 710

Come and join together, O my Siblings of Destiny; dispel your sense of duality and let yourselves be lovingly absorbed in the Lord. Let yourselves be joined to the Name of the Lord; become Gurmukh, spread out your mat, and sit down. 1 In this way, throw the dice, O brothers. As Gurmukh, chant the Naam , the Name of the Lord, day and night . At the very last moment, you shall not have to suffer in pain. 1Pause Let righteous actions be your gameboard , and let the truth be your dice. Conquer sexual desire, anger, greed and worldly attachment ; only such a game as this is dear to the Lord. 2 Rise in the early hours of the morning, and take your cleansing bath. Before you go to bed at night, remember to worship the Lord. My True Guru will assist you, even on your most difficult moves; you shall reach your true home in celestial peace and poise. 3 The Lord Himself plays, and He Himself watches; the Lord Himself created the creation. O servant Nanak, that person who plays this game as Gurm...
