Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One pulled me free from the strong pull of illusion — the shiny things that promise everything and hold nothing. The One drew me close instead.
Into my mind was placed the one Name, a gift that never wears out, never breaks, and never leaves.
The One pulled me away from things that fade, and gave me something that never fades.
Chhadaa-ay lee-o mahaa balee tay — I was set free from a very strong force. That force is Maya. Maya is not a monster. It is the pull of illusion and clinging: shiny things that promise everything and then let you down. Think of a new game you begged for that feels boring a week later.
Then comes the gift. Ayk naam dee-o — the One gave me the Name. And binas na kathoo jaat: it never wears out and never goes away. Everything Maya offers breaks or fades one day. The Name stays.
What things you love will not last forever — and what inside you might?
