Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Just as a person stays wrapped up and lost in the pull of Maya, chasing money and shiny things,
so the humble saints stay soaked in the Naam of the One.
The saints are as soaked in the Naam as other people are in chasing things.
Maa-i-aa mohi means the pull of Maya, chasing money and things. Some people are totally wrapped up in it. The sant jan, the humble lovers of the One, are wrapped up in the Naam in the very same way.
So loving the One is not hard, grim work. It is the most natural thing in the world. Think of how a child gets lost in a favorite game and forgets to come for dinner. We all get taken up by what we love.
The verse leaves one gentle question: what are you soaked in?
What is something you get so absorbed in that you lose track of time?
