Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The veil of Maya is thick, so thick and heavy. Like a whirlpool, it spins the home round and round and pulls it apart.
Wrongdoing and bad habits are heavy, like rusted scrap iron. With that weight, no one can cross the poisonous, rough sea of the world.
The pull of the world is a thick, heavy veil, and wrongdoing weighs you down like scrap iron.
Maa-i-aa patal is the veil of maya, the thick curtain that makes us think outside things are the whole story. It spins us like a whirlpool. Manoor means rusted scrap iron. It is a picture of how selfish habits pile up and weigh us down, like a backpack filling with stones one at a time.
With that load, the verse says, the rough sea of life cannot be crossed.
What helps you feel lighter when your thoughts get heavy and tangled?
