Although we constantly feel the fear of God in our hearts, there is no sign of that fear evident in our actions.

This couplet captures the honest paradox of human nature—the quiet tug-of-war between our conscience and our actions. Deep within, we feel a constant and reverent fear of the Divine, yet our worldly deeds carry no trace of that inner restraint. With gentle, self-reflective honesty, the poet wonders how a faith so deeply felt in the heart can so easily vanish in the way we actually live.
