That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
Everything is expression of our own intelligence. Through simple, innocent, natural unbounded awareness-fullness of Self, all is accomplished… Only we should not be influenced by the winds.
Fight with yourself, why fight with external foes? He, who overcomes self will obtain happiness.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
Internally I am a hermit, and externally I am a prince. Arms mean protection to the poor and destruction of the tyrant. Baba Nanak had not renounced the world but had renounced maya, that is, self and ego.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
If you wish to be free, know you are the Self, the witness of all these, the heart of awareness. Set your body aside, sit in your own awareness. You will at once be happy, forever still, forever free.
