ਜਉ ਲਉ ਕਰਿ ਕਾਮਨਾ ਕਾਮਾਰਥੀ ਕਰਮ ਕੀਨੇ ਪੂਰਨ ਮਨੋਰਥ ਭਇਓ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਕਾਮ ਕੋ ।
jau lau kar kaamanaa kaamaarathee karam keene pooran manorath bheio na kaahoo kaam ko |So long as a human being performed deeds to fulfill his desires or with some aim in mind, neither his performed actions achieved anything nor any of his resolutions bore fruit.
ਜਉ ਲਉ ਕਰਿ ਆਸਾ ਆਸਵੰਤ ਹੁਇ ਆਸਰੋ ਗਹਿਓ ਬਹਿਓ ਫਿਰਿਓ ਠਉਰ ਪਾਇਓ ਨ ਬਿਸ੍ਰਾਮ ਕੋ ।
jau lau kar aasaa aasavant hue aasaro gahio bahio firio tthaur paaeio na bisraam ko |So long a human being remained dependent on others for fulfillment of his desires, he wandered from pillar to post without respite from anywhere.
ਜਉ ਲਉ ਮਮਤਾ ਮਮਤ ਮੂੰਡ ਬੋਝ ਲੀਨੋ ਦੀਨੋ ਡੰਡ ਖੰਡ ਖੰਡ ਖੇਮ ਠਾਮ ਠਾਮ ਕੋ ।
jau lau mamataa mamat moondd bojh leeno deeno ddandd khandd khandd khem tthaam tthaam ko |So long a human being carried the load of I, my, me and yours under the influence of attachment with worldly goods and relations, he kept roving in distress from one place to the other.
ਗੁਰ ਉਪਦੇਸ ਨਿਹਕਾਮ ਅਉ ਨਿਰਾਸ ਭਏ ਨਿਮ੍ਰਤਾ ਸਹਜ ਸੁਖ ਨਿਜ ਪਦ ਨਾਮ ਕੋ ।੪੨੮।
gur upades nihakaam aau niraas bhe nimrataa sahaj sukh nij pad naam ko |428|One can become unattached and free from all worldly allurements only by taking the refuge of the True Guru and practicing His sermon of Naam Simran that helps one achieve spiritual high, comfort of equipoise and humility.
