Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When people keep the One in mind and gather in the Sangat, something shifts inside.
The scorching sun of endless wanting goes down, and a cool, calm moon rises in its place.
Wanting cools down when we remember the One together.
The saints keep the One in mind and gather in the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Then something changes. dinee-ar soor tarisnaa agan bujhaanee — the burning sun of tarisnaa, endless wanting, goes down. siv chari-o chand chandaakee — and a cool moon rises.
Think of a hot summer afternoon that finally gives way to a calm, cool night. That is how it feels when craving settles. Nobody fights the wanting or feels ashamed of it. It simply cools, the way heat leaves the air after sunset.
What helps your mind cool down after it has been racing and wanting all day?
