ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਸਭੁ ਆਪੇ ਕੀਨਾ ॥
maa-i-aa moh sabh aapay keenaa.
All by Himself, God created emotional attachment to Maya.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵਿਰਲੈ ਕਿਨ ਹੀ ਚੀਨਾ ॥
gurmukh virlai kin hee cheenaa.
How rare are those who, as Gurmukh, realize the Lord.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੁ ਸਚੁ ਕਮਾਵੈ ਸਾਚੀ ਕਰਣੀ ਸਾਰੀ ਹੇ ॥੬॥
gurmukh hovai so sach kamaavai saachee karnee saaree hay. ||6||
One who becomes Gurmukh practices Truth; true and excellent are his actions. ||6||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Even the pull toward passing things is part of the great design — nothing is outside the One.
Rare is the person who turns toward the Guru and sees this.
The one who does lives from what is real, and their days shine.
Even the things that pull at us are held inside the one Oneness.
Maa-i-aa moh sabh aapay keenaa — even the world of attachment is the One's own making. This dissolves the idea of a good God against an evil world; the whole play is one. The virlaa (rare one) who realizes this practices sach and their karnee (actions) become excellent.
