Since thou hast now obtained a human body 0 man,
It is time for thee to meet God ;
All else that thou doest is of no avail ;
Join the company of the saints and only repeat God's name ;
Apply thyself to preparation for crossing the terrible ocean.
Thy life is vainly passing in worldly love ;
Thou hast not repeated God's name, performed penance, austerities, or other religious works ;
Thou hast not served holy men or known God.
Nanak saith, base have been mine acts ;
Preserve mine honour who have taken shelter in Thee.
THE SOHILA1
