ਜੋਗੀ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਗਵਾਈ ਹੰਢੈ ਪਾਖੰਡਿ ਜੋਗੁ ਨ ਪਾਈ ॥੧੦॥
jogee jugat gavaa-ee handhai pakhand jog na paa-ee. ||10||
Yogi, you have lost the Way; you wander around confused. Through hypocrisy, Yoga is not attained. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Yogi, you have lost the way, and you wander around confused.
Pretending never brings you to Yoga — to union with the One.
Pretending never brings you to union with the One.
Pakhand jog na paa-ee — through pretense, union is not found. A show of practice, with nothing happening inside, misses the way, for anyone, in any tradition. The caution is about hollow show, never about yogis as people or about any faith.
