Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Why pretend to be something you're not? In the blink of an eye, it's time to get up and go.
Don't gamble your one precious life away — hurry instead into the shelter of the One.
The letter Tatta (the retroflex one) is urgent and clarifying: koorh kamaaveh — why practice hypocrisy, why keep up a false front? Because khin mahi — in a moment — you'll have to rise and leave. Pretending takes enormous energy, and it's spent on something that ends in an instant. The alternative is put as a race: harni-aa saran chal — hurry to the Sanctuary. Not someday — now. Drop the mask, stop gambling away the days, and run toward what's real while you can.
Where in your life could you stop pretending and just be honestly yourself?
