Is it better to turn a deaf ear to the truth and enjoy life to the fullest till the time runs out ?

Knowledge only increases pain.

Kabir Sukhiya sab sansar hai, Khaye aur soye Dukhiya dass kabir hai, Jaage aur roye

In joy is the whole world consuming and sleeping. In sorrow is servant Kabir awakened and weeping.

ਧਨਾਸਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥ धनासरी महला ४ ॥ Dhanaasaree, Fourth Mehl:

ਸੇਵਕ ਸਿਖ ਪੂਜਣ ਸਭਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਸਭਿ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਊਤਮ ਬਾਨੀ ॥ सेवक सिख पूजण सभि आवहि सभि गावहि हरि हरि ऊतम बानी ॥ All the Sikhs and servants come to worship and adore You; they sing the sublime Bani of the Lord, Har, Har.

That one thing of account is reciting Waheguru's name and his glories.

Samsara is the great game of life. From outside the game Kabir sees the suffering and weeps. There are two types of knowledge. Gyan is inner knowledge. It is not mental, intellectual, academic knowledge. It is the timeless wisdom that lies outside the game. The knowledge that increases pain is intellectual knowledge. Why? it feeds duality. "Sochai soch na hovai..." We cannot experience the Infinite through our mind though we learn and learn and think and think. The inner knowledge brings freedom from the boundaries inherent in thinking. No, it's not better to turn a deaf ear. But do consciously choose what you think about.

"Sochai soch na hovai..." By bathing at holy places a hundred thousand times, one cannot find God, Soch is sanskrit for bathing not to be confused with Hindi word thinking https://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Learn_all_of_Japji_Sahib .

TeraBanda Ji - Thinking does not make any sense, you may think hundred thousand times, it's a very simple line. By purifying you cannot be purified, though you purify yourself hundred thousand times.

so they gave a certain option to us which is a most ridiculous option because what Guru Nanak said was, Sochai soch na hovai je sochi lakh var.

By thinking hundred thousand times you cannot think. so when Guru Nanak said, "Sochai soch na hovai je sochi lakh var." He was not only true, he was absolutely true and we don't need Bhai Veer Singh version or Prof. Sahib Singh version. The meaning is clear.

Guruka Singh Ji maybe you are right, but I am pretty sure Soch doesn't mean thinking here I will Edit my question because of lack of space
