Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
He gives up the affairs of illusion, yet never learns to value devotion.
He picks holes in the Vedas and the scriptures, but never grasps the real essence of union.
This one is about a person who gives things up but never learns to love.
He walks away from the busy affairs of Maya, the world of things and money. But he never learns the worth of bhagtee, loving devotion. Instead, he keeps picking holes in the Vedas and Shaastras, the old Hindu scriptures. And he misses the heart of jog, which here means real union with the One.
The point is not against those books. It is about a heart that only finds fault. Think of a kid who quits the team, then spends all day complaining about the coach. Quitting and criticizing do not make anyone a better player.
In the same way, finding fault and giving things up cannot take the place of devotion and real understanding.
Is it easier to criticize something than to understand what it's really pointing at?
