Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It is easy to get so caught up in the busy business of life that we forget the things that matter most — what is true, and the living sense of the One. The days fill up with doing, and a quiet ache can grow underneath it all.
But it does not have to go that way. Nanak says: those who serve the Guru find peace, and the good already planted in their lives opens the door. It is never too late to turn.
Shalok, Third Mehl. maa-i-aa mohi visaari-aa — attachment makes one forget sach, mortality, and the Naam. dhandhaa (endless busy work) wastes the days and breeds inner dukh. poorab likhiaa karaam — grace written in from before, the good already planted in a life, opens the way.
What is one thing that matters to you that a busy schedule sometimes crowds out?
