Harikiran ji,
Guru Fateh.
It is OK for you not to see what I do in the Shabad because Gurbani is a prism. We, at times look at its different angles. This is the beauty of Gurbani Poetry whose meaning expands like the Universe within due to age, persistence,personal experiences and by practicing the message of our visionary Gurus. The latter for me is The Physical Living Spiritually. How can one do that if one distances oneself from one's other half which is PIri, the way you claim?
Please allow me explain my way of studying Gurbani. I study a couple of Shabads before and after to understand the theme first because SGGS is divided into themes using different metaphors but the interesting part is that it is only One Theme, which is how to become a better person and live the Miri- Piri Life at its fullest. This is perhaps the reason the word Mind is mentioned 4992 times as per SriGranth.org.
After studying about four Shabads relating to the Shabad above, I came to realise it has nothing to do with what you claim.
This Soap Opera of life as you claim it to be is not mentioned in any of the Shabads before or after but they do give us the clue what this Shabad is all about.
As I mentioned before that Bajighar does not mean Player but a magician/confidence trickster and that is what the Shabad is talking about "having different costumes" among many other things. Player, when translated from English to Punjabi only means the one who is involved in athletics.
This is the reason our Guru purposely used the word.,Bajighar rather than a 'Khilari' which actually means a Player in Punjabi.
Please read just two Shabads the one before and the one after the following one and share the linkage and the theme with us from your perspective.
In fact, Bhajighar only comes twice in the SGGS, our only Guru.Please read the relating Shabads on Page 1061 and check the difference between the meanings of the same word-Bajighar.

ਬਾਜੀਗਰਿ ਇਕ ਬਾਜੀ ਪਾਈ ॥
बाजीगरि इक बाजी पाई ॥
Bājīgar ik bājī pā▫ī.
The Juggler has staged His juggling show.
Even the same translator has used two different words/meanings for Bajighar in the above Shabads.
After that, if you still insists, then I will give my understanding of the following Shabad.
Thanks for the great, positive interaction.
