Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Just hearing His praise carries you across the deep water - and still your heart has not fallen for Him!
This short, thin dream - you keep getting caught on it, over and over.
Loving the One carries us across life's rough water, yet we keep getting stuck on a short dream.
Bhav is the wide, rough ocean of the world. Just hearing the One's praise, jis kaa jaas sunat, helps us cross it. Still, the heart does not fall in love. Instead it gets caught on thoree baat alap supnay kee, a small thing, a short dream. And it gets caught again and again.
Think of waking up from a dream about winning a huge prize. For a second it felt real, and then it is gone. The verse invites us to trade that dream for something real that stays.
What is one "short dream" that sometimes distracts you?
