O Mind, Wake Up !

Why are you sleeping unaware ?

That body, which you were born with,
shall not go along with you in the end.

Mother, father, wife, husband, children
and relatives whom you love so dearly
will assign your body to the fire or earth,
when your soul departs from it.

Your worldy affairs exist only as long as you
are alive ; know this well.

O Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord ;
everything is but a dream.


from the Sri Granth Sahib
