Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A heart that pours all its love only into things that fade will always end up aching for more.
The Teacher showed me this: love turned toward the One brings a joy that lasts and lasts.
Love the One, and the joy never runs out.
The shabad ends by saying its lesson plainly. Love aimed only at things that pass leaves the heart duhaylaa, restless and aching. But pareet parabhoo — love for the One — is sad kaylaa, joy that lasts forever.
Loving only what fades is like a phone stuck at five percent, always hunting for a charger. Love for the One is like being plugged in for good.
This is not a threat. It is an invitation: aim your heart where the joy does not run out.
What is a joy you have felt that did not fade away afterward?
