ਭਰਮੇ ਭੂਲਾ ਫਿਰੈ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ॥
bharmay bhoolaa firai sansaar.
Deluded by doubt, the world wanders around.
ਮਰਿ ਜਨਮੈ ਜਮੁ ਕਰੇ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥੩॥
mar janmai jam karay khu-aar. ||3||
It dies, and is born again, and is ruined by the Messenger of Death. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When we're lost in doubt, we wander and circle and never quite settle.
But a heart can always be turned back toward home.
When we're lost in doubt we wander and circle — but a heart can always be turned back toward home.
"Deluded by doubt, the world wanders around... ruined by the Messenger of Death." The qMonk voice keeps the gentle diagnosis — doubt makes us wander and circle — and, per the wellbeing rules, softens the death-imagery, holding to the raag's steady hope that a heart can always be turned back. Doubt (bharam), not sin, is again the wandering-cause.
A Question to Sit With
