ਮਨਿ ਆਨੰਦੁ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਗੁਰਿ ਦੀਆ ॥
man aanand mantar gur dee-aa.
My mind is filled with bliss, since the Guru gave me the Mantra of the Lord's Name.
ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਬੁਝੀ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਥੀਆ ॥੩॥
tarisan bujhee man nihchal thee-aa. ||3||
My thirst has been quenched, and my mind has become steady and stable. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind is filled with bliss since the Guru gave me the Mantra of the Name;
my thirst is quenched, and my mind is steady.
The Name quenches the thirst nothing else could and steadies the wandering mind.
The Guru's gift of "the Mantra of the Lord's Name" fills the mind with bliss, quenches "thirst," and makes the mind "steady and stable." The restless thirst of the insufficiency-shabads (Shabad 102) is finally satisfied, and the wandering mind settled.
A Question to Sit With
