ਇਕਿ ਭਗਤੀ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣਨੀ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਇ ॥
ik bhagtee saar na jaannee manmukh bharam bhulaa-ay.
Some do not appreciate the value of devotional worship; the self-willed manmukhs are deluded by doubt.
ਓਨਾ ਵਿਚਿ ਆਪਿ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਕਰਣਾ ਕਿਛੂ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥੩॥
onaa vich aap varatdaa karnaa kichhoo na jaa-ay. ||3||
They are fillled with self-conceit; they cannot accomplish anything. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sometimes a heart has not yet felt how good loving devotion can be.
Doubt and a puffed-up self can cloud the view, like fog over a window.
But fog lifts, and the same heart can clear and see again.
Doubt and pride are fog on the window; fog can always lift.
The manmukh, the self-willed one, has not yet tasted the worth of devotion (bhagtee saar) and wanders lost in doubt (bharam). Doubt and pride cloud the view the way fog clouds a window. Fog can lift, and no heart is written off.
A Question to Sit With
What helps clear the fog when doubt clouds your view of things?
