The glass of the mindβs longing is filled to overflowing with falsehood; the Messenger of Death is the bartender. Drinking in this wine, O Nanak, one takes on countless vices and corruption.

Water has a natural tendency to flow downwards. Similarly, the mind also has a natural tendency to flow outwards, towards sense pleasures. It always cheats man and leads him to sensual indulgence and bad company, which ultimately precipitates his downfall. Apparently bad company may seem very attractive at first, butβ¦.Β βNever, not even by mistake, should you fall for those pleasures that give rise to numberless sorrows.
