Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Why put on such a big fancy show? Everything you can see will one day be gone.
Serve the One who lives inside everyone, and a real peace will be yours.
The letter Dadda (retroflex) gently deflates showing-off: adambar — the ostentatious display, the big performance — is pointless because je kichh hoaa sabh khaptaa — whatever exists passes away. The showy things are the most temporary of all. Set against the fading show is the one thing worth doing: sayv — serve the One pervading everyone. Turn the energy you'd spend impressing people into caring for them, because the One you're really serving is inside each of them.
What's the difference between doing something to impress people and doing it to help them?
