Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By the Divine Guru's grace, the Naam is planted firmly inside you. By the Divine Guru's grace, you stop running off in ten directions.
By the Divine Guru's grace, the five troublemakers inside you stay far away. By the Divine Guru's grace, you do not come to the end of your life full of regret.
With the Guru's light, the mind stops running in circles.
Ja-o gurday-o ta naam darirhaavai — when the Divine Guru comes, the Naam takes root inside, like a seed pressed into soil. Na dah dis dhaavai — the mind stops racing in dah dis, the ten directions. Think of a puppy that stops chasing every squirrel and finally sits beside you.
Panch tay door — the panch, the five inner troublemakers, are kept far away. They are wanting too much, anger, greed, clinging, and pride. Na maribo jhoor — you won't reach the end of life full of regret.
The grace here is very practical. It means a steadier mind, a calmer heart, and a life you can look back on with peace.
What pulls your attention in ten directions — and what helps you settle?
