Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਬਨਾਵਹੁ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ॥
gur kai sabad banaavahu ih man.
I have shaped this mind in the mold of the Guru's Word.
ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਸੰਚਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ॥੧॥
gur kaa darsan sanchahu har Dhan. ||1||
Beholding the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan, I have gathered the wealth of the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have shaped this mind in the mold of the Guru's Word.
Seeing my Guru, I have gathered the wealth of the One.
Your mind takes the shape of whatever you pour it into — so choose the mold with care.
The mind is re-formed: "shaped... in the mold of the Guru's Word." Like metal poured into a cast, the mind takes the shape of the Word it is given to. And in that re-forming, "the wealth of the Lord" is gathered.
