Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the brilliance of the One touches the deepest part of my mind, my restless, fluttering thoughts grow still and settle into it.
That one Diamond fills everything with light — and true wisdom is how I finally found it.
Kabir uses a gorgeous image: the One as a Diamond. When the Diamond of the Lord touches the diamond of my mind — when the One's brilliance reaches the deepest, clearest part of me — my fickle, wind-blown mind (thoughts fluttering like a flag in the wind) grows still and is absorbed. The restless mind finds rest by meeting something even more brilliant and steady than itself. And this Diamond isn't rare or far away; it fills everything with Light. The One is like a diamond hidden inside all of creation, flashing with light in everything — and the Guru (true wisdom) is what helps you finally see it. For a child: there's a brilliant, beautiful presence shining inside everything, and inside you — and a still, clear mind is how you notice it.
What helps your fluttering, restless thoughts settle and grow still?
