Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your beautiful presence is where my mind feels at home.
Drinking in that sweetness, I've found the only wealth I need.
The Pause names where Ravi Daas's heart lives: Your lotus feet are the home of my mind — his thoughts rest in the beautiful presence of the One the way you rest at home. And what he's found there is the only wealth he wants: drinking in Your Nectar, I have obtained the wealth of the Lord. For a cobbler who had little in the way of worldly riches, this is a quiet triumph — he's found a sweetness and a richness that has nothing to do with money or status, and it's completely his. For a child, it's a lovely picture of true home and true wealth: home isn't a place, it's where your heart rests; and the richest thing you can have isn't money, but the sweetness of love. Ravi Daas the poor cobbler was, in the way that counts, wonderfully rich.
Where does your mind feel most 'at home'? What's a richness that has nothing to do with money?
