Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
From the very beginning of time, the greatness of the One has been plain to see, shining through everything.
And those who try to tear others down with lies find that the harm they spread comes back to unsettle them.
Aad jugaad pargat partaap — "from the beginning and through the ages, the glory is manifest." The One's greatness is not a recent claim; it is woven into time itself. The second line's literal describes a nindak — a slanderer, one who tears others down with false words — brought low. In the wellbeing lens we read this not as gleeful punishment but as a natural principle: the harm you fling outward has a way of returning to disturb your own peace. The teaching warns against becoming the one who tears others down.
Have you noticed how spreading a mean story about someone often ends up making you feel worse, not better?
