Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever cools the fire of lies, deceit, and endless wanting finds calm, ease, and joy inside.
Walking in tune with the Guru's way, the ego dissolves.
Singing the One's praises, one comes home to the true Presence.
Cooling the fire of always wanting more lets peace move in.
Koorh kusat trisnaa agan bujhaa-ay — put out the fire of falseness, tricks, and trisnaa, the craving that never stops. Think of how a "just one more" game can keep you playing long past bedtime. When that fire cools, a person finds saaNt sahj sukh: calm, ease, and joy inside.
Gur kai bhaanai chalai taa aap jaa-ay — walk in tune with the Guru's way, and the grabbing self melts away. Singing the One's praises, a person reaches saach mahal, the true Mansion. That means the felt Presence of the One, like coming home.
What is something you can do when a want feels like it is burning you up?
