Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The world turns under the three qualities;
the soul cycles, again and again, through its heavens and its hells.
Even heaven, in this picture, is just one stop on a turning wheel.
The world runs under trai gun, the three qualities. They are three moods that color everything: lazy and dull, restless and pushy, and calm and good. Inside them, the soul keeps going around and around. Sometimes it lands in a heaven. Sometimes it lands in a hell.
Think of a merry-go-round. Some horses are painted gold, and some are plain. But all of them just go in circles. A gold horse is still on the ride. So being free does not mean getting a better seat on the wheel. It means stepping off the wheel, beyond the three qualities, to the One.
What would it mean to want more than just a better turn of the same wheel?
