Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever does not repeat the Naam is crushed with shame.
Without the Naam, how can anyone sleep in peace?
A person leaves off remembering the One, and still wishes for the highest state.
But without roots, how can there be any branches?
Remembering the One is the root, and the highest state grows from it like branches from a tree.
Laaj marai: dies of shame, an old way of saying a life feels empty and exposed. Naam bihoon: without the Naam, sleep is restless. Param gat: the highest state. Mool binaa saakhaa kat aahai: without roots, where are the branches? You cannot skip the root and still hope for the fruit.
What is a daily root habit that quietly holds up something bigger in your life?
