Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let go of meanness, and you will reap good.
Whoever is born comes from the One beyond all knowing.
This one says: let go of meanness, and good things grow.
Durmat means a mean or crooked way of thinking. Durmat ti-aag laahaa kichh layvhu — drop the meanness, and you will gain something good. It works like a garden. Pull out the weeds, and the good plants have room to grow.
The second line is a quiet reminder of where we come from. Jo upjai so alakh abhayvhu — everyone who is born comes from the One who is beyond knowing. You did not make yourself, and neither did anyone else. We all came the same way, from the same mystery. That is a good reason to be humble and kind toward every other being.
What good might grow in you if you let go of one mean or bitter habit?
