Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Charms and cure-alls and clever tricks are like ashes next to this: simply keep the Maker of everything alive within your heart. That is the real medicine.
Charms and tricks are like ashes. The real medicine is keeping the One in your heart.
A-ukhaDh mantar tant sabh chhaar — remedies, magic words and spells are all ashes. A mantar here is a spoken charm. A tant is a spell or trick meant to make something happen.
This line names no people and no faith. It points at a habit found everywhere: trusting a formula to force the result we want. Think of a lucky pencil kept for a test. It cannot do the studying for you.
The real cure is karnaihaar riday meh Dhaar — hold the Creator in your heart. Trust the living One more than any technique.
Have you ever hoped a "trick" would fix something that really needed something deeper?
