Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is no real happiness in owning your house, in all the world's stuff, in tall mansions with beautiful shadows. Spent on cheating and greed, a human life is simply wasted.
Owning a home and lots of things does not bring real happiness.
This is the first wrong answer. Kusal na garihi mayree sabh maa-i-aa — there is no happiness in owning a home, or in all of Maya, the world's stuff. Not even in oochay mandar, tall mansions that cast beautiful shade.
Worse still, jhoothay laalach janam gavaa-i-aa — a life spent on cheating and greed is wasted. Think of someone who keeps buying the newest phone, sure the next one will finally make them happy. The happiness never arrives. Wealth is not the same as happiness.
Have you ever gotten something you wanted and found the happiness didn't last?
