Find What Lasts and the Wandering Stops

ਧਾਵਤ ਰਹੇ ਏਕੁ ਇਕੁ ਬੂਝਿਆ ਆਇ ਬਸੇ ਅਬ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਥਾਇ ॥
Dhaavat rahay ayk ik boojhi-aa aa-ay basay ab nihchal thaa-ay.
My wandering has ended, since I have realized the One and Only Lord; now, I have come to dwell in the eternal place.
ਜਗਤੁ ਉਧਾਰਨ ਸੰਤ ਤੁਮਾਰੇ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਪੇਖਤ ਰਹੇ ਅਘਾਇ ॥੨॥
jagat uDhaaran sant tumaaray darsan paykhat rahay aghaa-ay. ||2||
Your Saints are the Saving Grace of the world; beholding the Blessed Vision of their Darshan, I remain satisfied. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My wandering has ended now that I have found the One and Only; I have come to live in the place that lasts.

Your Saints are the saving grace of the world; seeing them, I am content.

When you find what lasts, the wandering stops and you finally settle.
The deeper layer

The wandering ends in dwelling: "I have come to dwell in the eternal place." And the Saints are "the Saving Grace of the world" — simply beholding them brings contentment. The company of the awakened is itself a kind of arrival.

A Question to Sit With

What does it feel like to arrive somewhere you can finally rest?
