Shalok, Second Mehl:

eaeh kinaehee aasakee dhoojai lagai jaae ||

What sort of love is this, which clings to duality?

naanak aasak kaandteeai sadh hee rehai samaae ||

O Nanak, he alone is called a lover, who remains forever immersed in absorption.

changai changaa kar mannae mandhai mandhaa hoe ||

But one who feels good only when good is done for him, and feels bad when things go badly
