ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਲੀਜੈ ਹੇ ॥੧੦॥

Deep within are peace and tranquility, and lasting peace is obtained. Following the Guru's Teachings, one is blessed with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The world runs hot with wanting, like a field on fire.
The one who follows the Guru cools that fire with the living Word.
Deep inside, a calm settles, a peace that stays, and the Naam is the gift of the Guru's teaching.
The Word is cool water for the fire of endless wanting.
The fire of Maya is cooled, not fought, by the Word. Deep peace is the result, and the Name is the teaching's gift.
