Guru Arjan Sahib describes the strong influence of Maya over the human mind. Rare are those freed from it by contemplating the virtues of IkOankar (the Divine). Corresponding to the fifteen-day lunar calendar each pauri (stanza) correlates to each day formed by the waxing and waning of the moon. The third pauri depicts how under the influence of Maya, beings are engrossed in sensual pleasures; their lives pass in arrogance, fear, pain, and conflict. To be liberated from this cycle, seekers are advised to pray and seek refuge in IkOankar.
