Wealth is temporary; conscious existence is temporary; hopes of all sorts are temporary.
ਅਨਿਤੵ ਹੇਤੰ ਅਹੰ ਬੰਧੰ ਭਰਮ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਲਨੰ ਬਿਕਾਰੰ ॥
anitay hetan ahan bandhan bharam maaeaa malanan bikaaran |
The bonds of love, attachment, egotism, doubt, Maya and the pollution of corruption are temporary.
ਫਿਰੰਤ ਜੋਨਿ ਅਨੇਕ ਜਠਰਾਗਨਿ ਨਹ ਸਿਮਰੰਤ ਮਲੀਣ ਬੁਧੵੰ ॥
firant jon anek jattharaagan neh simarant maleen budhayan |
The mortal passes through the fire of the womb of reincarnation countless times. He does not remember the Lord in meditation; his understanding is polluted.
