Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sometimes we can be wide awake and busy on the outside, yet fast asleep on the inside — chasing after things that quietly slip away and belong to someone else tomorrow.
The wake-up is simple and kind: don't forget the One who is always with you. Hold onto the love that truly stays, and let the rest come and go lightly.
jaagat so-i-aa janam gavaa-i-aa — awake yet asleep, the life slips by. maal dhan jori-aa bha-i-aa paraa-i-aa — hoarded wealth passes to another. khasam bisaar — forgetting the One; the literal roll-in-the-dust image is dropped per wellbeing rules, and the teaching is kept as a gentle call to stay inwardly awake and hold the love that lasts.
What is the difference between being busy and being truly awake to what matters?
