Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is the helper and the strength of the humble.
A heart set on tearing others down only loses its own way. It wanders restlessly and never quite finds its way home.
The One stands by the humble, and tearing others down leads nowhere.
Jan kaa aap sahaa-ee ho-aa — the One became the helper of the humble. Jan means a humble servant, and sahaa-ee means helper.
The verse then paints a stark picture of people who speak ill of others. They wander and wander, and never come home. The inner truth is this. A life spent tearing others down loses its own way. It stays restless, like someone with no home inside. The kind heart, meanwhile, is kept safe. Think of a map app. Keep taking the wrong turns, and you drift farther and farther from home. The teaching is about where each road leads. It is not about anyone's downfall.
How does holding onto anger at someone change the way you feel inside?
