ਛੋਡਹੁ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਕੂੜ ਕਬਾੜਾ ॥
chhodahu paraanee koorh kabaarhaa.
O mortal, abandon falsehood and your worthless ways.
ਕੂੜੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਕਾਲੁ ਉਛਾਹਾੜਾ ॥
koorh maaray kaal uchhaahaarhaa.
Death viciously kills the false beings.
ਸਾਕਤ ਕੂੜਿ ਪਚਹਿ ਮਨਿ ਹਉਮੈ ਦੁਹੁ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਪਚੈ ਪਚਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੬॥
saakat koorh pacheh man ha-umai duhu maarag pachai pachaa-ee hay. ||6||
The faithless cynic is ruined through falsehood and his egotistical mind.On the path of duality, he rots away and decomposes. ||6||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let me set down what is false, the worthless clutter of my life.
Death strikes down what is false.
When I turn from my source and let pride steer, falsehood wears me away; pulled two ways at once, I waste away.
What is false cannot last; set it down.
Chhodahu paraanee koorh kabaarhaa: set down falsehood and clutter. The saakat, the one turned away from the source, is caught in pride and pulled two ways at once (duhu maarag), split and stuck.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you could set down that is only cluttering your days?
