ਦੁਆਪੁਰਿ ਦੂਜੈ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਹੋਇ ॥
du-aapur doojai dubiDhaa ho-ay.
In the Brass Age of Dwaapur Yuga, duality and double-mindedness arose.
ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਨੇ ਜਾਣਹਿ ਦੋਇ ॥
bharam bhulaanay jaaneh do-ay.
Deluded by doubt, they knew duality.
ਦੁਆਪੁਰਿ ਧਰਮਿ ਦੁਇ ਪੈਰ ਰਖਾਏ ॥
du-aapur Dharam du-ay pair rakhaa-ay.
In this Brass Age, Dharma was left with only two feet.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਏ ॥੩॥
gurmukh hovai ta naam drirh-aa-ay. ||3||
Those who became Gurmukh implanted the Naam deep within. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the Brass Age, hearts got pulled two ways at once.
Lost in doubt, people saw two where there is only One.
In this age, goodness was left standing on two feet, like a table down to two legs.
Those who turned to the Guru planted the Naam deep inside.
A heart pulled two ways finds rest when it plants itself in one center.
The third age is marked by dubidhaa — a divided heart, pulled two ways, seeing two where there is only One. Bharam is the doubt and confusion that follows. The remedy is drirh-aae: to plant the Name firmly, giving a divided heart a single center to rest in.
A Question to Sit With
