Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
People get stuck in greed and in a mind split in two. Their minds are like raw, unready cloth, and the color of love will not take.
Through the Guru's words, a life turns all the way around. Meeting the Guru, the great Being, the heart is dyed in love.
A mind split by greed cannot hold love's color, and the Guru's words can turn a whole life around.
Dubidhaa: being split in two, wanting two things at once. Lobh: greed. Korai: raw, unready cloth, which will not take dye until it has been prepared. Fir ulti-o janam: the life turns right around. Gur purakh: the Guru, the great Being, who brings the color.
Have you ever changed your mind about something in a way that surprised you?
