O people, our eyes and heart remain seeing day and night; though we appear to be asleep outwardly, in reality we are awake.

Here, the poet speaks of a profound inner awareness that never truly sleeps. To the worldly eye, he might appear detached or lost in slumber, yet his heart and soul remain ceaselessly watchful and attuned to deeper truths. There is also a subtle poetic play on 'mardumaan'—which means both 'people' and 'pupils of the eye'—gently reminding us that true vision belongs not to outward eyelids, but to an awakened spirit.
