Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have become steady and settled, and I live in the home of peace. I will never again go running about anywhere.
When the heart finds its home of peace, the restless running around stops.
The verse says asthit bha-ay basay sukh thaanaa: "I have become steady, and I live in the home of peace." Asthit means steady, not wobbling. Sukh thaanaa means a place of peace.
Then: bahur na kathoo Dhaa-i-o, "I will never again run about anywhere." Dhaa-i-o means running, rushing here and there.
Think of a phone that keeps searching for a signal and drains its battery. Once it finds strong WiFi at home, it settles and stops searching. A heart that was always hunting for something finally finds a place to rest.
Where or with whom do you feel most settled and at home?
