Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The stubborn foolishness of my mind is gone;
God's Will has become sweet to me.
This one says that when the stubborn mind calms down, life starts to taste sweet.
This is the turning point of the whole shabad. Binsi-o man kaa moorakh dheethaa — the stubborn, foolish part of my mind is gone. Prabh kaa bhaanaa laagaa meethaa — the One's will now tastes sweet to me.
The One's will is also called Hukam, the way life unfolds. Bhaanaa meethaa means "the will tastes sweet."
Here is the surprise. The will did not change. The mind did. Think of eating your vegetables while grumbling. They taste awful. On a day you are happy and grateful, the same food tastes fine. Shabad 60 teaches this same idea.
What might taste sweet that now tastes bitter, if you stopped resisting it?
