ਏਹੁ ਸਰੀਰੁ ਸਭ ਮੂਲੁ ਹੈ ਮਾਇਆ ॥
ayhu sareer sabh mool hai maa-i-aa.
This body is the source of all Maya;
ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਇਆ ॥
doojai bhaa-ay bharam bhulaa-i-aa.
in love with duality, it is deluded by doubt.
ਹਰਿ ਨ ਚੇਤੈ ਸਦਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਏ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਚੇਤੇ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੨॥
har na chaytai sadaa dukh paa-ay bin har chaytay dukh paa-idaa. ||12||
It does not remember the Lord, and suffers in eternal pain. Without remembering the Lord, it suffers in pain. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This same body can also become a place where clinging takes over, and we get tangled in this-and-that and lose our way in doubt.
When the One is forgotten, an ache settles in. But the very same body can turn and remember — and then the ache begins to ease.
The same heart that forgets can turn and remember.
The body can become the root of Maya when love turns to duality. Forgetting the One brings an ache, and the same body that forgets can turn and remember, and the ache eases.
