(35). Childhood, youth and old age consider as three stations of life! Nanak says: without worshipping Hari take all as useless!
(36). What was 1 to be done, that thou hast not done, thou hast fallen into the snare of covetousness. Nanak (says): the time is past, why art thou now weeping, 0 blind one?
(37). (Thy) mind is wandering about in the Maya, it does not go out of her, 0 friend! Like as the paint of a form does not leave the wall, (says) Nanak.
(38). Man is desiring something else and something quite different has happened. He was pondering on a roguery and the noose has fallen on his neck, (says) Eanak.
(39). Many efforts were made for the sake of pleasure, for the sake of pain not any one was made. Nanak says: hear, 0 mind, what pleases Hari, that takes place.
(40). The world wanders about begging, Earn is giving to every one.
Nanak says: 0 mind, remember him, thy business becomes (thereby) completed.
(41). Why dost thou entertain false conceit, know, the world is like a dream. Among these (things) nothing is thine, this asserts Nanak.
SLOKS OF TEG BAHADUB, 42—56.
(42). Thou art proud of (thy) body, which is destroyed in a moment, 0 friend!
By which man the praise of Hari is said, by him the world is overcome, (says) Nanak.
(43). In whose heart there is the remembrance of Earn, know, that man is emancipated. Between that man and Hari there is no difference, mind this as true, (says) Nanak.
(44). In which man's heart there is not devotion to the One Lord: His body consider like that of a hog (or) dog, (says) Nanak.
(45). As a dog never forsakes the house of his master: In this wise worship Hari, (says) Nanak, with one mind and thought.
(46). Who (goes to) Tirthas, (keeps) fasts (and) gives alms and entertains conceit 1 in (his) mind: To him it is fruitless, (says) Nanak, like the bathing of an elephant.
(47). The head shakes, the foot totters, the eye is without light: Nanak says: (though) this state has set in, love to Hari is not taken up.
(48). I have accurately beheld the world: no one is any one's. Nanak (says): firm is (only) devotion to Hari, keep that in (thy) mind!
(49). The formation of the world is all falsehood, know this, 0 friend! Nanak says: like a wall of sand it does not remain firm.
(50). Ram is gone, Ravan is gone, who had a great retinue. Nanak says: nothing remains firm, the world is like a dream.
(51). Anxiety is entertained about that, which does not take place. This is the way of the world j Nanak (says): no one remains firm.
(52). "What is produced, that will be destroyed (again), nest year, to-day or to-morrow. Nanak (says): sing the praises of Hari, giving up all troubles!
DoJira (Distich J?
(53). (My) strength is exhausted, fetters have fallen (on me), there is no expedient whatever. Nanak says: now Hari is my refuge, like an elephant he will become my helper.
(54). All my companions and friends have forsaken me, no one has gone on with me. Nanak (says): in this calamity (my) trust is the One Ragu-natb.3 (55). The name has remained, the saint4 has remained, Guru Govind has remained. Nanak (says): in this world by some (rare one) the mantra of the Guru is muttered.
(56). The name of Ram is laid hold of (by me) in (my) breast, to whom no one is equal. By remembering whom the distress is effaced and thy sight is obtained.
DoJira; mahala X.6 Strength is afforded, the fetters are loosened, everything becomes an expedient. Everything is in thy hand, even thou art thy (own) helper.
1 ZPTT^ has also the sense of conceit, pride in Panjabi (Pers. ^L^).
2 These Dohras were written by Teg Bahadur, when in prison at Dilll, to his son Govind Singh, who was then at Anandpur. See Sikha de raj di vithia, p. 51.
9 U^T AIM' one °f tne namea of Rama (the same as "^trfTf).
4 By the *n"g very likely Baba Nanak is understood.
5 This is the answer of G5vind Singh to the preceding Dohras, and the only verse of G5vind Singh that was received into the Adi Granth.
