Trilochan teaches that the mind's last, habitual attachment shapes what comes next (P0); the tender Pause plea — do not forget the Name (P1). A heart fixed at the end on wealth, children, or property stays bound to each (P0, P2, P3) — even the good love of family, if it becomes ultimate; and the redemptive close: the heart fixed on the One is set free, and the One comes to dwell in it (P4).
Key Vocabulary
the last thought — the habitual attachment that shapes what follows; really a teaching about every moment (P0).
"do not forget the Name" — the tender plea the warnings serve (P1).
even love as a binding — any attachment made ultimate becomes a grip (P2).
Themes and Cross-Connections
This is Trilochan's most famous shabad, kin to the raag's teaching that "you become what you cling to" (B00C1026 P4) and "you receive according to your thirst" (B00C1072 P6). The redemptive reframe (P4) matches the project's handling of stern shabads — the warning exists to make the glad alternative vivid.
Translation Notes
The specific rebirth-images (serpent, and other degrading forms in the source) are abstracted into the universal, transferable teaching — what you habitually attend to is what you become and carry onward — per the project's wellbeing/voice rules; the stigmatizing particulars are not dwelt on, and each warning is turned toward the positive close (P4).
For Raag Goojaree
Trilochan turns a meditation on the last moment into a teaching about every moment: love shapes destiny, so fix your love on the One — and the One will be what fills you, and frees you.
What you love, you become — so love the One.
