My body is a field. My mind is the ploughman - Poem

 Poem By Guru Nanak Ji

My body is a field. My mind is the ploughman.

Righteousness is the cultivation.

Modesty is water for irrigation.

I have sown the field with the seed of the sacred Name of the Lord.

Contentment is my field's harrow.

Humility is its hedge.

The seeds will germinate into a good crop with love and devotion.

Fortunate is the house in which such a crop is brought!

O sir, mammon (wealth) will not accompany us to the next world.

It has infatuated the whole world, but there are few who understand its delusive nature.
