64) Tarr gaye way may tarr gayee loko
65) Akh jogi nal larr gaye loko
— Bulleh Shah
Meaning
People who are lost in the way, are lost; people who fight with the yogi, are lost.
Explanation
In this powerful couplet, Bulleh Shah observes the state of modern distraction. The Shayar points out that people are caught in two kinds of entanglement: either they are ensnared in the superficial ways of illusion and worldly attachment, or they are wasting their energy fighting unnecessary battles with spiritual truth. Bulleh Shah invites us to look beyond these fleeting conflicts. He suggests that true peace and enlightenment are found not in external struggles, but in the quiet journey of the heart.
