Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The mind of the Gurmukh finds the Lord's home and comes to know the three worlds.
This mind is a Yogi, an enjoyer, a practicer of austerities; the Gurmukh understands the Lord Himself.
One mind can play every part, and when it turns to the Guru, it comes to know the One.
The Gurmukh's mind finds the One's home and comes to understand the three worlds, meaning all of creation. Then the verse says something surprising. Ih man jogee bhogee tap taapai — this mind is a jogee, a bhogee, and one who does hard practices. A jogee is someone who leaves the world behind to seek the One. A bhogee is someone who enjoys the world's pleasures.
Every role a person could take is just a way the one mind can stand. Think of an actor who can play the hero, the clown, or the king. It is still the same actor. And when that same flexible mind turns toward the Guru, it comes to know the One Himself.
What different 'selves' live in your one mind?
