Very interestingly, Shri Guru Angad Sahib counsels his followers that there is no end of our urges and wishes. And, they do not let us have a peace of mind. In this game, once we get trapped, we keep seeking various pleasures and forget our Creator. This Slok is on SGGS 147; let us ponder over it:
ਮਃ ੨ ॥ ਆਖਣੁ ਆਖਿ ਨ
ਰਜਿਆ ਸੁਨਣਿ ਨ ਰਜੇ ਕੰਨ ॥
ਅਖੀ ਦੇਖਿ ਨ ਰਜੀਆ
ਗੁਣ ਗਾਹਕ ਇਕ ਵੰਨ ॥
ਭੁਖਿਆ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਉਤਰੈ
ਗਲੀ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥
ਨਾਨਕ ਭੁਖਾ ਤਾ ਰਜੈ
ਜਾ ਗੁਣ ਕਹਿ ਗੁਣੀ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੨॥ {ਪੰਨਾ
147}
Mėhlā
2.
Ākẖaṇ
ākẖ na raji-ā sunaṇ na raje kann.
Akẖī
ḏekẖ na rajī-ā guṇ gāhak ik vann.
Bẖukẖi-ā
bẖukẖ na uṯrai galī bẖukẖ na jā-e.
Nānak
bẖukẖā ṯā rajai jā guṇ kahi guṇī samā-e. ||2||
The bani of Second Nanak.
In
essence: The mouth remains insatiate with talking and the
ears with hearing (different kind of stuff). The eyes remain insatiate with
seeing. Every organ has its own different urge to have more and more. The
hunger (all kinds of urges are defined above) doesn’t go away by merely
talking. Oh Nanak! The hunger of
desires (stated above) is satiated only if one utters Akalpurakh’s
praises and gets drenched in His virtues.
