Poems of Nanak
like a dream
observe for yourself
this whole world
is like a dream
it doesn't take but a moment
for it to disappear
just as a wall made of sand
does not stand very long
external happiness
does not last
do not be deluded
observe for yourself
it's never too late
go within and find the real
Nanak says
find the Master
he knows
and he can teach you
God's intention
nobody knows
God's intention
many yogis, thinkers and recluses
have been defeated
trying to figure that one out
in a moment
he can make a beggar into a king
and a king into a beggar
any time he chooses
he can make the full empty
and the empty full
this world is his
he created it
he can do anything he wants with it
he can take any form
wear any color
and still remain himself
immeasurable, without limits,
beyond understanding and perfect
he fools everybody by his simplicity
Nanak says
give up speculation
find the living Master
and realize truth for yourself
love not break
beloved, please keep
your servant's ways pure
please don't let our love break
in any way
you are more beloved to me
than body, mind and wealth
only you can free me
from the bondage of death
beloved
please keep me close to you
this is my heart's
constant wish
