Salok Sheikh Farid, Salok 106 — forgetting the Naam leaves no place to rest
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Farid says: the faces of those who forget the Naam look frightening.
Here they have a great deal of pain, and later they find no place to rest and no shelter.
Forgetting the Naam leaves a person with pain now and nowhere to rest later.
Tinaa mukh daraavnay: their faces are frightening to see. Farid means the face shows what is inside. A heart that has forgotten the One grows hard and troubled, and it shows.
Aithai dukh ghanayri-aa: here, much pain. Agai tha-ur na thaa-o: ahead, no place, no shelter. The salok is a strong warning. Its other side is plain too: remembering the Naam is what gives a person a place to rest.
How does your face change when your heart is troubled — and when it is at peace?
