Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who does their inner work honestly, and keeps the Name on their lips, does not wobble. Not here, not anywhere.
Doing the inner work and saying the Name together make a person steady.
Maneh kamaavai mukh har har bolai — they work at it in the mind, and speak the Name aloud. So jan it ut kateh na dolai — such a person never wavers, here or hereafter.
Dolai means to wobble. It is the shaky feeling of a mind blown around by whatever happens. Picture a tree with deep roots in a storm. The branches sway, but the tree stays put.
Inner practice and outward remembering work as a pair. Together they give a steadiness that nothing outside can shake.
What helps you stay steady when things around you are chaotic?
