Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Why try to fool the people around you, or pretend to be what you are not?
The One — the heart-enchanting One — is already tender toward the humble; there is no one to impress.
Why put on a show?
Kat ka-o dahkaavahu logaa — why try to fool people? The verse asks it plainly. Mohan means the one who charms the heart, a name for the One. Deen means the humble, the ones with nothing to show off. Mohan deen kirpaa-ee — the heart-charming One is already kind to the humble.
So there is no one to impress. Think of posting a perfect photo online to look happy. The people who really love you do not need the photo. They already know you. The One knows us even better, so there is no need to pretend.
Where do you feel you have to put on a show?
