Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My endless wanting has grown quiet, the tight grip of mine-mine has let go, and fear and doubt have run off.
I have found steady ground and a settled joy — the Guru has planted something good and right in me.
When the Guru's teaching takes root, the restless heart settles.
Tarisan bujhee: thirst, the endless wanting, has gone quiet. Mamtaa ga-ee: mamtaa is the grip of "mine, mine," and it has let go. Naathay bhai bharmaa: fear and doubt have run off. Think of a restless night that finally settles into calm, deep sleep.
The second line says thit paa-ee aanad bha-i-aa: I found steady ground and joy. Gur keenay dharmaa: the Guru planted dharam in me. Here dharam means something good and right taking root inside.
What is something you wanted so badly it made you unsteady, and how did it feel to let it go?
