Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My heart has found what it was looking for, and now nothing else pulls at it the way this does.
I am like a bumblebee that has crawled deep into a flower for its sweetness -- happy, wrapped up, wanting no other taste in the whole world.
The heart has found its sweetness and wants nothing else.
Aahay man avar na bhaavai — my mind longs for the One and loves no other. The verse pictures an al, a bumblebee, lost in the makrand, the honey, of a kamal, a lotus flower. The bee is not bored or pushed. It stays because it is happy there.
An ras nahee chaahai — I do not want any other taste. Think of a favorite dish at home. Once you have tasted it, the snacks in the vending machine stop calling you. That is how love for the One pulls at the heart.
Is there something you love so much that, while you are doing it, nothing else can distract you?
