Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wanting other people's wives, wanting other people's money, greed, ego, and wrong, poisonous habits;
mean feelings, putting other people down, wanting that runs out of control, and anger: give them all up.
Some habits poison the heart, and you can set each one down.
Par daaraa par Dhan par lobhaa: wanting what belongs to someone else, their wife, their money, their things. Ha-umai: ego, the feeling of being a separate self. Nind paraa-ee: speaking badly of others. Kaam kroDh: wanting that runs out of control, and anger. Taj: give it up, set it down.
Think of a backpack loaded with rocks. Take them out one at a time, and walking gets easier with each one.
If someone is being unkind to you or hurting you, that is never something you have to accept. Telling a grown-up you trust is always the right thing to do.
What is one thing you could set down that would make you feel lighter?
