Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Without the Naam, even your own body turns against you.
So why not meet the One, and let the ache in your mind ease?
We are travelers passing through — what did we bring when we came, what will we carry when we leave?
Without the Naam, every road runs at a loss; the profit comes when the One gives understanding.
The merchant buys and sells and trades — but without the Naam, what honor, what worth is there?
Vayrodh sareer — without the Name even the body is at war with itself. Vaat vataa-oo — the traveler on the highway, an image of transience. Laahaa milai jaa day-ay bujhaa-ay — the gain is given, not seized (grace). Merchant imagery of the true trade.
What helps quiet your mind when it feels at war with itself?
