Glycerine deceives actors


आंखन भीतर तेल को डारि के, सु लोगन एक प्रपंच दिखायो
न्यात फिरयो सिर बधक ज्यो, अस ध्यान बिलोक बिडाल लजायो
लाग फिरयो धन आस जितै,  तित लोग गयो परलोग गवायो
श्री  भगवंत भजयो  न अरे जड़, धाम के  काम  कहा  उरझायो  
They put oil in their eyes and take the audience to a make believe world.
They bow their head like a hunter does and the fake obeisance puts even the cat to shame
With a motive to make money such people spoil their both the worlds
The fool never remembers the Lord, entrenched just in the household

(Shree Dasham Granth)
