My holy book is my teacher (Guru Manyo Granth).

      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.
