On SGGS 92, Bhagat Tirlochan says that the mortals have so much engrossed in Maya that they have forgotten that they have to face the old age and the death as well. Let us ponder over this shabda:
ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਲੋਚਨ ਕਾ ॥
ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਮਨਿ ਆਗਲੜਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਜਰਾ ਮਰਣੁ ਭਉ ਵਿਸਰਿ ਗਇਆ ॥
ਕੁਟੰਬੁ ਦੇਖਿ ਬਿਗਸਹਿ ਕਮਲਾ ਜਿਉ ਪਰ ਘਰਿ ਜੋਹਹਿ ਕਪਟ ਨਰਾ ॥1॥
Sirīrāg Ŧrilocẖan kā.
Mā-i-ā moh man āglaṛā parāṇī jarā maraṇ bẖa-o visar ga-i-ā.
Kutamb ḏekẖ bigsahi kamlā ji-o par gẖar johėh kapat narā. ||1||
Raag Sree Raag, the bani of Tirlochan.
In essence: Oh man! You are too much drenched into the Maya love and you have forgotten the fear of old age and death. Oh, wicked man! Seeing your family, you blossom like a lotus and look with bad intentions at other’s homes.
ਦੂੜਾ ਆਇਓਹਿ ਜਮਹਿ ਤਣਾ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਆਗਲੜੈ ਮੈ ਰਹਣੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥
ਕੋਈ ਕੋਈ ਸਾਜਣੁ ਆਇ ਕਹੈ ॥ ਮਿਲੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਬੀਠੁਲਾ ਲੈ ਬਾਹੜੀ ਵਲਾਇ ॥
ਮਿਲੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਰਮਈਆ ਮੈ ਲੇਹਿ ਛਡਾਇ ॥1॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Ḏūṛā ā-i-ohi jamėh ṯaṇā. Ŧin āglaṛai mai rahaṇ na jā-e.
Ko-ī ko-ī sājaṇ ā-e kahai. Mil mere bīṯẖulā lai bāhṛī valā-e.
Mil mere rama-ī-ā mai lehi cẖẖadā-e. ||1|| Rahā-o.
The death is coming with speed and I will not be able to stay here; a rare friend comes to say, “Oh my Akalpurakh! Embrace me; meet me and rescue me”. Pause.
ਅਨਿਕ ਅਨਿਕ ਭੋਗ ਰਾਜ ਬਿਸਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਸਾਗਰ ਪੈ ਅਮਰੁ ਭਇਆ ॥
ਮਾਇਆ ਮੂਠਾ ਚੇਤਸਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਇਓ ਆਲਸੀਆ ॥2॥
Anik anik bẖog rāj bisre parāṇī sansār sāgar pai amar bẖa-i-ā.
Mā-i-ā mūṯẖā cẖeṯas nāhī janam gavā-i-o ālsī-ā. ||2||
Oh Mortal! Having control over others and diverse pleasures, you have forgotten Akalpurakh and you think that you are permanent in this world. Oh, lazy one! You, bewitched by Maya, don’t remember Akalpurakh’s name; you have wasted your life.
ਬਿਖਮ ਘੋਰ ਪੰਥਿ ਚਾਲਣਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ਰਵਿ ਸਸਿ ਤਹ ਨ ਪ੍ਰਵੇਸੰ ॥
ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਤਬ ਬਿਸਰਿ ਗਇਆ ਜਾਂ ਤਜੀਅਲੇ ਸੰਸਾਰੰ ॥3॥
Bikẖam gẖor panth cẖālṇā parāṇī rav sas ṯah na parvesaʼn.
Mā-i-ā moh ṯab bisar ga-i-ā jāʼn ṯajī-ale saʼnsāraʼn. ||3||
Oh Mortal! The path you tread on is very dark, because on it, there is no sun and moon. There is no chance of having the divine knowledge that can stop you from this path. When you leave this world, you will forget the love of Maya.
Bhagat Tirlochan says: why shouldn’t we get rid of the Maya attachment now when we have the time to remember Akalpurakh?
ਆਜੁ ਮੇਰੈ ਮਨਿ ਪ੍ਰਗਟੁ ਭਇਆ ਹੈ ਪੇਖੀਅਲੇ ਧਰਮਰਾਓ ॥
ਤਹ ਕਰ ਦਲ ਕਰਨਿ ਮਹਾਬਲੀ ਤਿਨ ਆਗਲੜੈ ਮੈ ਰਹਣੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥4॥
Āj merai man pargat bẖa-i-ā hai pekẖī-ale ḏẖaramrā-o.
Ŧah kar ḏal karan mahābalī ṯin āglaṛai mai rahaṇ na jā-e. ||4||
Today, it has become clear in my mind that I have to see the righteous judge and the powerful carriers of death, who crush the lives with force. How can I stand up there?
ਜੇ ਕੋ ਮੂੰ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ਕਰਤੁ ਹੈ ਤਾ ਵਣਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਣਿ ਰਤੜਾ ਨਾਰਾਇਣਾ ॥
ਐ ਜੀ ਤੂੰ ਆਪੇ ਸਭ ਕਿਛੁ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਬਦਤਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਲੋਚਨੁ ਰਾਮਈਆ ॥5॥2॥
Je ko mūʼn upḏes karaṯ hai ṯā vaṇ ṯariṇ raṯ-ṛā nārā-iṇā.
Ai jī ṯūʼn āpe sabẖ kicẖẖ jāṇḏā baḏaṯ Ŧrilocẖan rām-ī-ā. ||5||2||
Trilochan supplicates: Oh Akalpurakh! When someone instructs me that you are all pervading, I see you everywhere. You know everything.
Bhagat Tirlochan awakens the mortals from the Maya-slumber to focus on the Creator and love Him.
