Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I give my whole self to the Teacher, who let me see through this wondrous game.
A hidden restlessness smoulders through the world, yet it never catches hold of those whose hearts rest in the One.
Once the Teacher shows you the game, it has less hold on you.
Ha-o balihaaree satgur apunay — I give my whole self in thanks to my True Guru, jin ih chalat dikhaa-i-aa, who showed me this whole play. Seeing it changes everything.
The goojhee bhaahi is a hidden, smouldering fire, the fire of restless wanting. It runs quietly through the world. But bhagat na bi-aapai maa-i-aa — Maya does not cling to the heart that rests in the One.
It is like knowing how a magic trick works. Once you see it, the trick cannot fool you the same way. To see the game is already to be less caught by it.
How does understanding how something works make it less scary or less powerful?
