Phunhay, Verse 12 — the true wealth when the restless thieves are gone
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My Friend's mind is beautiful beyond compare; its secret cannot be known.
Whoever buys the Friend's endless virtues comes to know what is most true.
When my mind melts into that mind, great joy comes.
O Lord! When I overcome the restless thieves inside, I find the wealth that is true.
When the restless thieves inside are overcome, the mind can melt into the One and find true wealth.
Mit kaa chit anoop: the Friend's mind is beyond compare. Maramm na jaanee-ai: its secret cannot be known. Gaahak gunee apaar: the one who comes like a buyer for the Friend's endless virtues comes to know what is most true.
Chiteh chit samaa-ay: when one mind merges into the other, rang ghanaa, deep joy, follows. Chanchal choreh maar: the chanchal thieves are the restless wants that steal our attention. When they are overcome, sach Dhanaa, the true wealth, is found.
What distractions pull at your attention — and what happens when they settle?
