Don't Abandon Your True Home Chasing Outside
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Tuesday: take a good, honest look at what's really real, and what only pretends to be.
Learn the sneaky ways the five inner troublemakers work — grabbing, anger, pride, and the rest — so they can't fool you.
Don't go abandoning the true home inside you to go chasing after things outside; that only leaves you scattered and restless. Stay rooted in the One, and you stay whole and at peace.
mangalvaar (Tuesday): lay maaheet — grasp reality (what is truly real). panch chor kee jaanai reet — know the reet (ways, methods) of the panch chor, the “five thieves” (grasping desire, anger, greed, attachment, pride — the inner tendencies that rob peace). ghar chhodayn baahar jin jaa-ay — don’t abandon your ghar (true home within) to wander baahar (outside). The source’s closing line about the King’s “wrath” is handled per the project’s wellbeing lens: we drop the threat-register and keep the natural consequence — abandoning your inner home for outer chasing simply leaves you scattered and restless. The teaching (stay rooted within) is preserved; the fear is not.
Which of your feelings sometimes 'robs' your peace — and what helps you notice it before it takes over?
