Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The sun is free, and so is the moon; the one awake to the One stays clear and untouched.
Like fire that stays pure no matter what it burns, such a heart stays bright and clean.
A heart awake to the One stays clean, like the sun, the moon and fire.
The sun and moon are muktaa, free. They shine on everything and are never stained by it. The barahm gi-aanee, a person who truly knows the One, is like that. They are alipaa-ay, untouched. Fire is the same. It burns whatever it touches, yet the flame itself stays bright and clean.
Think of sunlight shining on a muddy puddle. The puddle is dirty, but the light never is. Such a person lives in the world and stays pure inside.
What helps you stay clear and yourself, even in a messy situation?
