ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦਿ ਮੇਰੈ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਜੋ ਮਾਗਉ ਸੋ ਪਾਵਉ ਰੇ ॥
gur parsaad mayrai man vasi-aa jo maaga-o so paava-o ray.
By Guru's Grace, He dwells within my mind; whatever I ask for, I receive.
ਨਾਮ ਰੰਗਿ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਨਾ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨ ਕਤਹੂੰ ਧਾਵਉ ਰੇ ॥੧॥
naam rang ih man tariptaanaa bahur na katahooN Dhaava-o ray. ||1||
This mind is satisfied with the Love of the Naam, the Name of the Lord; it does not go out, anywhere, anymore. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By the Guru's grace, He dwells within my mind; whatever I ask for, I receive.
This mind is satisfied with the Love of the Name; it no longer goes out, anywhere.
A mind truly satisfied with the One stops wandering out after everything else.
The indwelling One satisfies the mind so completely that "it does not go out, anywhere, anymore." The restless mind that wandered after every flavor finally stays home, content with "the Love of the Naam." Satisfaction ends the wandering (cf. Shabad 169).
A Question to Sit With
What would it take for your mind to finally stop restlessly seeking elsewhere?
