Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The manmukhs do not recognize their Husband Lord. They wander around looking for Him in the wrong places.
They are trapped in the love of duality — seeking the Lord on the outside while He waits within.
Day after day, they waste their lives in suffering. Their search takes them everywhere but where He actually is.
The manmukh's tragedy: Kant na jaanai — she does not recognize her Husband Lord. And the recognition has failed because she is looking outward (bahar khoje) for what is within (antar vasai — He dwells within).
The outward seeking is not wrong in itself — all seeking is an expression of the real longing. But when the seeking stays only outward and never turns inward, it keeps circling the empty space left by the interior recognition it has not yet made.
Is there something you've been seeking outside yourself that might actually require an inner turn? What would looking inward look like for that particular longing?
