Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I would gladly hand over my whole mind. I would lay everything I have out in front. I would let go of my own stubborn, self-serving ideas.
Whoever tells me the beautiful story of the One, I would follow right behind them, night and day, free of my old clinging.
This one says that when you truly long for something good, giving up smaller wants feels easy.
Man arpa-o dhan raakha-o aagai — I offer my mind, and I place my wealth before the One. That is giving everything.
Man kee mat mohi sagal ti-aagee — I let go of all my own stubborn, self-serving ideas. This is not about disliking yourself. It is about loosening the grip of the me-first voice.
Then comes the joy of following. Whoever tells har kathaa, the story of the One, an-din fira-o tis pichhai viraagee — night and day I would follow behind them, free of clinging.
Think of a kid who loves soccer so much that giving up screen time for practice feels like nothing. The longing turns giving into gladness.
What is something small you'd happily let go of to follow something you truly love?
