Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Someone shut off from the Word and Bani passes life in a fog of hurt.
But meeting the true Guru, peace comes, and the ego inside grows still.
When the noisy ego grows quiet, peace comes in.
The verse shows two ways to live. Manmukh anDhay dukh vihaanee — the manmukh, a person facing only their own wants, lives as if blind and spends life in pain. It is like walking in thick fog. It is a place to come out of, not a place to stay.
Satgur bhaytay taa sukh paa-ay — meeting the true Guru brings peace. Ha-umai vichahu thaak rahaa-ay — and haumai, the ego inside, grows still. The ego here is a restlessness to calm down, not a crime.
What helps you settle down when your mind will not stop buzzing?
