Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Serving the Guru, I have found a fruit as sweet as nectar. My proud "me" and my thirst for more have cooled down.
The One's Naam has come to live in my heart and mind, and all the wanting in my mind has grown quiet.
Serving the Guru brings a sweetness that quiets all the grabbing inside.
Gur sayvaa tay amrit fal paa-i-aa — by serving the Guru, I found amrit fal, a fruit as sweet as nectar. Ha-umai tarisan bujhaa-ee — my ha-umai, the proud "me," and my tarisan, thirst for more, were put out like a fire.
Har kaa naam hirdai man vasi-aa — the Naam of the One came to live in my heart. Mansaa maneh samaa-ee — the wants of my mind melted back into a calm mind.
Think of a glass of muddy water left still on the table. The mud slowly settles, and the water turns clear. The whole song grows from this settling.
What is a feeling that quiets your restlessness when it settles into you?
