In this way, the life of these self-willed people is wasted. What face will they show when they go to God’s court? ||3||
Kwa njia hii, maisha ya watu wenye wasia ya kibinafsi yanaenda bure. Wataonyesha uso gani watakapoenda kwa mahakama ya Mungu?
ਸਭ ਕਿਛੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪਿ ਹੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਕਹਨੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

ਜੇ ਵੇਲਾ ਵਖਤੁ ਵੀਚਾਰੀਐ ਤਾ ਕਿਤੁ ਵੇਲਾ ਭਗਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥
jay vaylaa vakhat veechaaree-ai taa kit vaylaa bhagat ho-ay.
If we ponder about the suitable time for worshipping God, we may find that there is no particular fixed time for God’s worship (Any moment is acceptable).
