ਭੈਰਉ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥
bhairo mehlaa 3.
Bhairao, Third Mehl:
ਸੋ ਮੁਨਿ ਜਿ ਮਨ ਕੀ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਮਾਰੇ ॥
so mun je man kee dubiDhaa maaray.
He alone is a silent sage, who subdues his mind's duality.
ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਮਾਰਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੇ ॥੧॥
dubiDhaa maar barahm beechaaray. ||1||
Subduing his duality, he contemplates God. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The silent sage is the one who calms the two-way pull in their own mind.
With that two-way pull calmed, they think deeply about the One.
The wisest person is the one who's quieted the tug-of-war inside their own mind.
Calm the two-way pull in your mind, and you can think clearly about the One.
So mun je man kee dubidhaa maaray: the mun, the silent sage, is the one who quiets dubidhaa, the mind pulled two ways at once. Dubidhaa maar barahm beechaaray: with that tug-of-war settled, they reflect on the One. Think of a pond: once the water is still, you can see to the bottom.
A Question to Sit With
When your mind is pulled two ways, what helps you settle it?
