ਏਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹਿਆ ਅਉਧੂ ਨਿਕਸੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ॥੨੪॥
ayhu man maa-i-aa mohi-aa a-oDhoo niksai sabad veechaaree. ||24||
This mind is enticed by Maya, O hermit; contemplating the Shabad, you shall find release. ||24||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This mind gets caught in the spell of the passing world, O seeker,
but reflecting on the Word, it slips free.
When your mind gets caught in a spell, reflecting on the Word sets it free.
Ayhu man maa-i-aa mohi-aa — the mind enchanted by Maya; niksai sabad veechaaree — it escapes by reflecting on the Word. The spell is real but not permanent: attention to the Word is the doorway out. Hope, not doom.
A Question to Sit With
