ਦੇਨਹਾਰੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਛੋਡਿ ਕੈ ਲਾਗਹਿ ਆਨ ਸੁਆਇ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਹੂ ਸੀਝਈ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਪਤਿ ਜਾਇ ੧॥
Ḏenhār parabẖ cẖẖod kai lāgėh ān su▫ā▫e. Nānak kahū na sījẖ▫ī bin nāvai paṯ jā▫e. ||1||
Leaving the creator that bestows, is busy in other selfishness. Nanak, such can never achieve success as without the creator there is no honor.

ਅਸਟਪਦੀ
Asatpaḏī.
Eight stanzas hymn

ਮਿਥਿਆ ਤਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਕੁਟੰਬੁ ਸਬਾਇਆ ਮਿਥਿਆ ਹਉਮੈ ਮਮਤਾ ਮਾਇਆ
Mithi▫ā ṯan ḏẖan kutamb sabā▫i▫ā. Mithi▫ā ha▫umai mamṯā mā▫i▫ā.
Body, valuable and family are not ever lasting. Pride of ego and possessions is false.

ਮਿਥਿਆ ਰਾਜ ਜੋਬਨ ਧਨ ਮਾਲ ਮਿਥਿਆ ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਬਿਕਰਾਲ
Mithi▫ā rāj joban ḏẖan māl. Mithi▫ā kām kroḏẖ bikrāl.
Power, youthfulness, wealth and possessions are not ever lasting. Lust, anger and fear are not ever lasting.

ਮਿਥਿਆ ਰਥ ਹਸਤੀ ਅਸ੍ਵ ਬਸਤ੍ਰਾ ਮਿਥਿਆ ਰੰਗ ਸੰਗਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਪੇਖਿ ਹਸਤਾ
Mithi▫ā rath hasṯī asav basṯarā. Mithi▫ā rang sang mā▫i▫ā pekẖ hasṯā.
Chariots, elephants, horses and beautiful clothes are not ever lasting. False is jolly and loving attachment to wealth and possessions.

ਮਿਥਿਆ ਧ੍ਰੋਹ ਮੋਹ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ਮਿਥਿਆ ਆਪਸ ਊਪਰਿ ਕਰਤ ਗੁਮਾਨੁ
Mithi▫ā ḏẖaroh moh abẖimān. Mithi▫ā āpas ūpar karaṯ gumān.
False is deceitfulness, attachment and ego. False is one believing in self pride.

ਅਸਥਿਰੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਸਾਧ ਕੀ ਸਰਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਪਿ ਜਪਿ ਜੀਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਚਰਨ ੪॥
Asthir bẖagaṯ sāḏẖ kī saran. Nānak jap jap jīvai har ke cẖaran. ||4||
Everlasting is refuge in reflection and company of pious. Nanak, exalts and seeks living in creator’s presence.
ESSENCE: In the salok, Guru ji state that ones busy collecting worldly goods should reflect. The accomplishments are incomplete without honor. The honor is there in association of one with the creator in all.

Guru Arjan Dev ji in Astpadi 5, 4th sabad cite very strongly how most considered permanent dissipates. Be it family, egoistic possessions, power and glory with pleasures, attachment, ego and self pride.


Guru ji conclude that company of the pious and recognition of the creator is ever so virtuous.
Please note all errors are mine and I stand corrected.

Sat Sri Akal.

Sat Sri Akaal,

All thoughts related to

childhood/youth

relation are cause of mind, will vanish as the time elapse

One shall imbibe "GURU's BANI" that is the only truth,

Truth of "Creator" all creation is through him, nothing more, nothing less.
