Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
Set down all your clever schemes; meet the holy people, and let go of your pride.
Everything else passes; let your tongue keep the sweet Naam, Raam, Raam, close.
Set down clever tricks and pride, and let your tongue keep the Naam.
Chhod sagal si-aanpaa — let go of all your cleverness. Mil saadh ti-aag gumaan — meet the holy people and drop your pride. Think of a kid who keeps a speech ready for every situation. It is tiring to be clever all the time.
Avar sabh kichh mithi-aa — everything else passes away. Rasnaa raam raam vakhaan — with your tongue, say Raam, Raam. Simple words, said with love, last longer than any clever plan.
What clever act could you drop to be more yourself?
