Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By great good fortune I found the perfect Guru.
He showed me the treasure of the Name hidden deep inside, and the Word turned out to be so sweet. Nanak says: my long thirst is finally quenched, and my mind and body have found real peace.
When the Word turns sweet, the endless thirst finally stills into peace.
Trisan bujhee — the thirst quenched — is the shabad's resolution: the endless wanting that drives the world stills at last. The sweetness of the sabad (at meethaa) is the taste that ends the craving for lesser flavors.
