Goojaree, Fifth Mehl: He decides to go to the west, but the Lord leads him away to the east. In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes; He holds all matters in His hands. ||1|| Cleverness is of no use at all. Whatever my Lord and Master deems to be right - that alone comes to pass. ||1||Pause|| In his desire to acquire land and accumulate wealth, one's breath escapes him. He must leave all his armies, assistants and servants; rising up, he departs to the City of Death. ||2|| Believing himself to be unique, he clings to his stubborn mind, and shows himself off. That food, which the blameless people have condemned and discarded, he eats again and again. ||3|| One, unto whom the Lord shows His natural mercy, has the noose of Death cut away from him. Says Nanak, one who meets the Perfect Guru, is celebrated as a householder as well as a renunciate. ||4||4||5|| <br xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/> Hukamnama from <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="https://www.sikhnet.com/hukam" target="_blank">SikhNet.com</a>
