Meaning
How can we become truthful, and how can the wall of falsehood between us and the Divine be broken? By walking in harmony with the Will (Hukam) of the Divine — the order written into our very being.
ਅਸੀਂ ਸੱਚੇ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਬਣੀਏ, ਅਤੇ ਸਾਡੇ ਤੇ ਰੱਬ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ਝੂਠ ਦੀ ਕੰਧ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਟੁੱਟੇ? ਰੱਬੀ ਰਜ਼ਾ (ਹੁਕਮ) ਨਾਲ ਇੱਕਸੁਰ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਚੱਲਣ ਨਾਲ — ਉਹ ਨਿਯਮ ਜੋ ਸਾਡੇ ਅਸਤਿਤਵ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੀ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ।
