ਮਨੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੈ ਰਮਿ ਰਹਿਓ ਨਿਕਸਤ ਨਾਹਿਨ ਮੀਤ ॥
man maaeaa mai ram rahio nikasat naahin meet |
The mind is absorbed in Maya - it cannot escape it, my friend.
ਨਾਨਕ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਜਿਉ ਛਾਡਿਤ ਨਾਹਿਨ ਭੀਤਿ ॥੩੭॥
naanak moorat chitr jiau chhaaddit naahin bheet |37|
Nanak, it is like a picture painted on the wall - it cannot leave it. ||37||
