O my mind, even if you carry someone's burden, they don't belong to you.

Aour Mueae Kia Roeeai Jo Apa Thhir N Rehae ||

Why should we weep at the death of others, when we ourselves are not permanent?

We are re-absorbed into the One from whom we came; drink in the Lord's essence, and remain attached to Him.
