Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When someone is busy looking for faults, another person's good news can even make them glum — but that is a heavy, tiring way to live.
All day the plans churn and never quite work. So the kindest thing is simply to keep being good, and not let anyone talk you out of your goodness.
Hunting for faults is a heavy, tiring way to live.
Ja-o daykhai chhidar ta-o nindak umaahai — when the fault-finder sees a flaw, he cheers up. Bhalo daykh dukh bharee-ai — seeing something good, he fills with gloom. Aath pahar chitvai nahee pahuchai — all day and night he plots, and gets nowhere. Think of someone who spends a whole game watching for other players' mistakes and never kicks the ball. Ill-will wears out the one who carries it, so hold on to your own goodness.
How do you hold on to your good self when someone is being unfair?
