sehjay gaavi-aa thaa-ay pavai bin sahjai kathnee baad.
Only the singing of God’s praises in a state of poise is accepted in God’s Court, and without that it is all in vain.

ਮਾਇਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਸਹਜੁ ਨ ਊਪਜੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥
maa-i-aa vich sahj na oopjai maa-i-aa doojai bhaa-ay.
This state of equipoise doesn’t arise while being attached to Maya, because Maya leads to the love of duality.
Hali hii ya usawa haitokei ukiwa umeambatana na Maya, kwa sababu Maya inaelekeza kwa upendo wa uwili.
