Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
While we are busy gazing at the bright, beautiful shows around us, the day to move on quietly arrives.
What felt so solid turns out to be a dream within a dream, and only what we have lived and given travels on with us.
Life is a show that does not last.
Paykhat leelaa rang roop: we watch the colorful plays and shapes of the world. And while we watch, chalnai din aa-i-aa, the day to move on arrives. This is said gently, to wake us up, not to scare us.
Supnay kaa supnaa means a dream within a dream. Think of a movie you get completely lost in. Then the lights come on, and you walk out. Only one thing comes with us: sang chali-aa kamaa-i-aa, what we truly did and gave. Our deeds come along; the rest stays behind.
What is something you have done that you think will still matter years from now?
