Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Here is the good news, friend: the things your heart most deeply wants can come full — when you gently rest your attention on the One.
Not scattered a hundred directions, but centered, like a compass needle settling toward north.
Your heart's deepest wishes are met when your attention rests on the One.
Sagal manorath paa-ee-ah meetaa — all your wishes come true, my friend. Charan kamal si-o laa-ee-ai cheetaa — when you rest your mind at the One's lotus feet. The "lotus feet" are a picture of the One's gentle presence.
The lesson is to point your mind in one direction. Think of a phone with twenty apps open at once. It gets slow and hot, and nothing gets done. Close the extras, and the one that matters runs smoothly. A scattered mind keeps chasing and never arrives. A centered mind settles, like a compass needle finding north. Then what the heart truly wanted comes to it.
When your attention is scattered everywhere, how do you feel? What helps it settle?
