Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind has been lit up, and my understanding made whole.
The meanness that kept me far from Him is gone.
When your mind finally understands, the distance between you and the One disappears.
BuDh pargaas bha-ee mat pooree — my mind has been lit up, and my understanding is whole. Think of a dark room. You bump into things and feel far from the door. Then someone flips on the light, and the door was right there all along.
That is what the next line says. What kept me far from the One was durmat, a mean and twisted way of thinking. It was never miles or walls. It was something in the heart. When understanding clears it away, the distance is simply gone.
What in your own heart creates distance between you and what's good?
