ਹੋਰੁ ਸਭ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਕਾਚਾ ॥
hor sabh pareet maa-i-aa moh kaachaa.
All other loves and emotional attachment to Maya are false.
ਬਿਨਸਿ ਜਾਇ ਕੂਰਾ ਕਚੁ ਪਾਚਾ ॥
binas jaa-ay kooraa kach paachaa.
They shall pass away, like false and transitory decorations.
ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਗੁਰੁ ਸਾਚਾ ॥੪॥੪॥੪੨॥
jan naanak pareet taripat gur saachaa. ||4||4||42||
Servant Nanak is fulfilled, through the Love of the True Guru. ||4||4||42||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every other love, every attachment to the world's glitter, is false. It fades like cheap decorations that do not last. But I am fulfilled through love of the true teacher.
Every other love fades like cheap decoration -- only love of the teacher truly fulfills.
The close sorts the loves: attachment to Maya is false, passing like transitory decorations (Rang: the dye that fades). Only love of the True Guru fulfills. The catalogue of natural loves has been pointing all along to the one love that does not fade.
A Question to Sit With
What loves in your life feel lasting, and which feel like they might fade?
