Remove the filth of ego.

There is no pain as great as the pain...

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 the Guru dispels ignorance. 2

"I have done this, and I will do that"-I am an idiotic fool for saying this!
I have forgotten the Doer of all; I am caught in the love of duality.
There is no pain as great as the pain of Maya; it drives people to wander all around the world, until they become exhausted.
Through the Guru's Teachings, peace is found, with the True Name enshrined in the heart. 3

I am a sacrifice to those who meet and merge with the Lord.
This mind is attuned to devotional worship; through the True Word of Gurbani, it finds its own home.
With the mind so imbued, and the tongue imbued as well, sing the Glorious Praises of the True Lord.
O Nanak, never forget the Naam; immerse yourself in the True One. 43164

Worldly Pleasures: Beware of them.

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

Material wealth

Salok, Third Mehla:
The love of Maya is enticing; without teeth,

it has eaten up the world.
The self-willed manmukhs are eaten away,

while the Gurmukhs are saved;

they focus their consciousness on the True Name.
Without the Name,

the world wanders around insane;

the Gurmukhs come to see this.
Involved in worldly affairs, he wastes his life in vain;

the peace-giving Lord does not come to abide in his mind.
O Nanak, they alone obtain the Name,

who have such pre-ordained destiny. 1
