Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You read the holy books aloud, with all the notes written beside them,
but the Perfect One does not live in your heart.
You preach to others and press them to believe,
but you do not do what you say yourself.
Reading and teaching are good gifts; what matters is that the One lives in your heart and your life matches your words.
Mukh tay parh-taa teekaa sahit — reading aloud, commentary and all: all the tools of learning. Scripture itself is honored here. The gap being closed is the one between reciting a truth and living it — knowing about the One versus living from the One. This is Sach: not just true words, but truthful living.
Is there something you already know is right that you could start doing?
