Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Holding the true One lights you up inside.
Then, right in the middle of the world's glitter, you stay unhooked. Here is the wonder: among children and family, freedom is found.
You find freedom right in the middle of family life.
Sach simri-ai hovai pargaas — remembering the True One brings light. Bikhi-aa meh rahai udaas — then a person stays unhooked, even in the middle of Maya, the world's glitter and pull. It is like walking past a shop full of shiny toys and feeling happy just to look.
The most surprising line is putar kaltar vichay gat paa-ee — freedom is found right among children and spouse. This is the Sikh way of the householder. You do not run away from the world to find the One. You find the One inside ordinary family life, at the dinner table and on the school run.
How could you stay peaceful inside even on a busy, noisy day?
