Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Busy with worldly work, a person loses all honor, and the foolish one's doubt never goes away.
Without the Guru's Word, no one is ever set free. Blind to the way, they stay tangled in a spreading mess of busy affairs.
Staying busy with nothing else can cost you your honor and leave you confused, and the Guru's Word sets you free.
Dhandhaa karat saglee pat khovas: busy with affairs, a person loses all honor. Bharam na mitas: doubt does not go away. Andhulay dhandh pasaaraa: like someone who cannot see, they keep spreading out more and more busyness.
Think of a hamster on a wheel, running fast and getting nowhere. The Guru's Word is what lets you step off.
When has slowing down helped you more than speeding up?
