ਆਸਾ ਭਰਮ ਬਿਕਾਰ ਮੋਹ ਇਨ ਮਹਿ ਲੋਭਾਨਾ ॥
aasaa bharam bikaar moh in meh lobhaanaa.
Hope, doubt, corruption and emotional attachment - in these, he is engrossed.
ਝੂਠੁ ਸਮਗ੍ਰੀ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੀ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਨ ਜਾਨਾ ॥੨॥
jhooth samagree man vasee paarbarahm na jaanaa. ||2||
The false material world abides in his mind, and he does not understand the Supreme Lord God. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wanting, doubt, and clinging can fill up a mind until there is no room for anything else.
When only passing things sit in the heart, it is hard to notice the deep One behind them all.
A mind full of passing things has little room to notice the deep ones.
Aasaa bharam bikaar moh in meh lobhaanaa — the crowding of the mind; jhooth samagree man vasee, paarbarahm na jaanaa — passing things crowd out the deep One. The clutter is what blocks recognition.
