Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Imagine looking back over a wonderful, busy stretch of time and asking gently: what did I grow with it? What did I gather that really lasts?
It is a kind question, not a scary one. It simply invites us to spend our days on what matters most — on love, on kindness, on keeping the One close.
amal siraano laykhaa daynaa — one's term of service ends and an accounting is given. aa-ay kathin doot jam — the literal names the Messenger of Death; per wellbeing rules the frightening figure is dropped, and the accounting is rendered as gentle self-reflection: what did you grow that lasts? ki-aa tai khati-aa — what did you earn?
If you looked back on a whole week, what would you be glad you spent it on?
