ਸੁਪਨੰਤਰੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ਸਭੁ ਬਾਜੀ ਸਭੁ ਬਾਜੀ ਖੇਲੁ ਖਿਲਾਵੈਗੋ ॥
supnantar sansaar sabh baajee sabh baajee khayl khilaavaigo.
The whole world is like a game in a dream, all a game. God plays and causes the game to be played.
ਲਾਹਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਲੈ ਚਾਲਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਗਹ ਪੈਧਾ ਜਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੫॥
laahaa naam gurmat lai chaalahu har dargeh paiDhaa jaavaigo. ||5||
So earn the Profit of the Naam by following the Guru's Teachings; you shall go to the Court of the Lord in robes of honor. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The whole world is like a game in a dream. It is all a play, and the One plays it and sets it playing.
So follow the Guru's teaching and earn the profit of the Naam. Then you will go to the One's court dressed in honor.
Life is a passing game, so gather the Naam as you play.
The world is a passing game, and the Naam is the profit worth carrying home.
Supnantar: inside a dream. Baajee: a game, a show. Laahaa naam: the profit of the Naam. Paidhaa: dressed in robes of honor, welcomed like a guest of honor.
A Question to Sit With
In the game of a busy day, what is the one thing worth keeping?
