ਅਸੰਤੁ ਅਨਾੜੀ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਬੂਝੈ ॥
asant anaarhee kaday na boojhai.
The unsaintly blockhead shall never understand.
ਕਥਨੀ ਕਰੇ ਤੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਨਾਲਿ ਲੂਝੈ ॥
kathnee karay tai maa-i-aa naal loojhai.
He babbles on and on, but he is infatuated with Maya.
ਅੰਧੁ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਸੀਝੈ ॥੨॥
anDh agi-aanee kaday na seejhai. ||2||
Blind and ignorant, he shall never be reformed. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one with no saintliness in them never gets it. They talk and talk, but they are besotted with the world's glitter. Blind to what matters, they stay unchanged.
A mind besotted with the world's glitter talks endlessly but does not change.
A blunt portrait of the closed mind: the fool infatuated with Maya, blind to wisdom. Note this is the self-facing orientation hardened -- not a permanent kind of person but a direction stuck.
A Question to Sit With
Have you ever known something needed to change but stayed stuck anyway? What finally moved it?
