ਮਹਾ ਮੋਹ ਅੰਧ ਕੂਪ ਪਰਿਆ ॥
mahaa moh anDh koop pari-aa.
You have fallen into the deep, dark pit of great attachment.
ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਪਟਲਿ ਬਿਸਰਿਆ ॥੩॥
paarbarahm maa-i-aa patal bisri-aa. ||3||
Caught in the illusion of Maya, you have forgotten the Supreme Lord. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Big attachment can pull you down like getting lost in a fog — you cannot see the way out, and everything narrows to just wanting more.
In that fog of Maya — the glittering pull of stuff — the One gets covered over and forgotten. But fog lifts. The One is still right there.
Attachment can fog everything until only more is visible — but fog lifts, and the One is still right there.
Mahaa moh andh koop pari-aa — fallen into the deep, dark pit of great attachment. It feels like being lost in fog: you cannot see the way out. Paarbarahm maa-i-aa patal bisri-aa — behind Maya's veil the One is forgotten, though never gone. Fog lifts; the One is still there.
A Question to Sit With
When you want something very badly, does it ever crowd out everything else? What helps the fog clear?
