Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Through grace, a new kind of understanding settled into me —
and the endless restless coming-and-going of my heart came to rest. Something in me finally stopped wandering.
This one says that when grace brings real understanding, the restless wandering can rest.
Gur parsaad aisee budh samaanee — by the Guru's grace, such budh, clear understanding, settled into me. Grace is always there. We receive it when we open up to it.
Chook ga-ee fir aavan jaanee — my coming and going has ended. In its fullest sense, this means being free of being born again and again. For a child, it is just as true as the deep rest of a heart that has stopped searching everywhere and come home.
Think of a snow globe after the shaking stops. The flakes drift down and the water turns clear. Grace does not scold the wandering away. It simply gives the mind a place to settle.
What does it feel like when your mind finally stops racing and just rests?
