Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You came into this life to trade in jewels — kindness, love, remembering the One.
It would be a shame to fill your cart with plain dust instead. Choose what shines.
You came here to trade in jewels, so don't go home with a cart of dirt.
Ratan javayhar banjan aa-i-o — you came to trade in gems and jewels. Kaalar laad chalaa-i-o — but you loaded up barren, salty soil. The jewels are the good things we gather inside: kindness, love, and remembering the One. The dirt is a life spent only on what does not last.
Picture a child sent to the market with money for good food. The child comes home with only a bag of sand. The choice is simple, and it is ours to make.
If your days were a shopping cart, what jewels would you want to fill it with?
