People try to deceive others, but the Inner-Knower, the Searcher of hearts, knows everything.

They commit transgressions, and then deny them, while they pretend to be in nirvana. || 1 ||

They believe that You are far away, but You are near at hand.

Looking around, this way and that, the greedy people come and go.  ||  Reflect  ||

As long as the doubts of the mind are not removed, liberation is not found.

Says Nanak: Saint, devotee, humble being, is one on whom the Divine bestows compassion.  ||2 || 5 || 36 ||

ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥

ਜਤਨ ਕਰੈ ਮਾਨੁਖ ਡਹਕਾਵੈ ਓਹੁ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ਜਾਨੈ ॥

Reflection:

Guru’s Voice is crystal clear:

Clever tricks,deceptions, saintly attire may dupe the world.

But know that,the One sees all.

You are merely hoodwinking yourself.

Look within.

Search within.

Correct this flaw.

Walk the Teachings.

Live in Hukam.

For

Freedom is not possible, until

Doubts of the mind are not removed.

When

The wall of falsehood breaks

True liberation materializes. 

My ardas:

Grace me with Your Incessant Presence.

May my doubt dissipate.
