Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When someone lives turned only toward themselves, chasing their own restless wants, they drift through life a little lost — and never quite meet the love that was right there.
In the end they leave this world a stranger to their own heart. Their mind and body are worn down.
This one describes a person who has lost touch with their own heart. It is a condition to grow out of, not a label for anyone.
A manmukh is someone turned only toward their own wants. Manmukh bharam bhulaanaa means such a person wanders, lost in bharam, confusion and doubt. Naa tis rang hai means there is no rang, no color of love, in them.
Marsee ho-ay vidaanaa means they leave this life vidaanaa, a stranger to their own self.
Think of living in a house for years without ever opening one of its rooms. That room is still yours, waiting. The way back, through the Guru's teaching, is always open.
What helps you feel at home in yourself again when you feel lost?
