ਮਨਮੁਖ ਮੁਏ ਜਿਨ ਦੂਜੀ ਪਿਆਸਾ ॥
manmukh mu-ay jin doojee pi-aasaa.
The self-willed manmukhs are dying in the thirst of duality.
ਬਹੁ ਜੋਨੀ ਭਵਹਿ ਧੁਰਿ ਕਿਰਤਿ ਲਿਖਿਆਸਾ ॥
baho jonee bhaveh Dhur kirat likhi-aasaa.
They wander lost through countless incarnations; this is their pre-ordained destiny.
ਜੈਸਾ ਬੀਜਹਿ ਤੈਸਾ ਖਾਸਾ ॥੩॥
jaisaa beejeh taisaa khaasaa. ||3||
As they plant, so shall they harvest. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those living for the ego die thirsty, in love with division. They wander through countless lives. As they plant, so they harvest.
Living for division leaves you thirsty -- and you harvest exactly what you plant.
The dark mirror: the self-facing person dies thirsty (never tasting, Har Ras) in duality and wanders the cycle. The principle as you plant, so you harvest (cf. as you act so you become) is stated plainly. What you sow returns.
A Question to Sit With
What are you "planting" lately, and what harvest would it bring?
