Salok Vaaraan Te Vadheek (Mehl 4), Salok 120 — the mind that finally rests
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who faces the Guru has trust; the mind is content. Day and night, serving, they melt into the One.
The Guru, the True Guru, is within; everyone honors the Guru, and everyone comes to see the True Guru.
So trust the True Guru, who thinks the deepest thoughts; meeting the Guru, all thirst and hunger go away.
I give myself, forever and ever, to my Guru, who unites me with the True One.
Nanak says: those who come and touch the Guru's feet are blessed with the karma of Truth.
Trust in the True Guru lets the mind rest, and every hunger goes.
Parteet bha-ee man maani-aa: trust has come and the mind is content. Tisnaa bhukh sabh jaa-ay: all thirst and hunger go. Balihaaree is giving oneself completely, out of gratitude, to the Guru who unites with the True One.
In the last line, karam often means grace, a gift given freely: karam paa-i-aa tin sachaa, they receive the True One's gift.
What helps your mind settle when it is racing?
