Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind, say the Name of the One.
You'll be given peace, balance and delight, and you'll find the spotless place.
The Name makes you a clean place to live inside. This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad.
mayray man jaap parabh kaa naa-o — my mind, say God's Name. It promises three gifts: sookh sahj anand — peace, calm balance, and deep joy. These are not prizes from outside. They are ways of being.
And milee nirmal thaa-o — you will find the spotless place. That place is less a spot on a map than the clean space a remembering mind becomes. Think of your room right after you tidy it: light, and easy to breathe in. The Name doesn't just get you something. It makes you somewhere clean to live.
What would a 'clean inner place' feel like for you — and what clutters it now?
