"The support of the world is a myth, know this my friend Nanak says, it isn’t stable, no more than a wall of sand Ram has gone, Ravan has gone, they of the great lineages Nanak says nothing endures, the world is but a dream Think of the calamities that may befall Nothing on this path is durable, says Nanak Whatever has sprouted will end, today or tomorrow Nanak sing the praises of Hari, leave aside the webs of the world"
