Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
As long as a person keeps crying, "Mine! Mine!",
not one of their tasks gets done.
When that "mine, mine" is wiped away,
then the One comes and sets their affairs right.
While you clutch "mine, mine," nothing comes together; when the clutching fades, the One sets things right.
Mayree mayree, "mine, mine," is the voice of haumai, ego, the feeling of being a separate owner cut off from the whole. While it runs the show, kaaj ayk nahee sarai: not one thing gets done. When it dissolves, prabh kaaj savaareh aa-ay: the One comes and arranges the affairs. It comes as a gift, the moment the blocking "me" steps aside.
When has holding on too tightly made something harder?
