Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Love for Maya, the world's passing show, is strong and heavy; it leaves a black stain that sticks.
The people of my Master stay untouched and free, like a duck on the water whose feathers never get wet.
You can live in the middle of the world and keep it from sticking to you, like a duck that stays dry on the water.
Maa-i-aa moh, attachment to the changing world, is sabal, powerful. It leaves a kaalakh daag, a dark stain. The murgaa-ee, the duck, is the classic picture: it lives on the water yet stays dry. Alipat means untouched. The lesson is being fully in the world without being stuck to it.
How do you stay yourself even when everyone around you is caught up in something?
