Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Some carefully test the jewel of their own mind and turn the Word over in their hearts.
Only a few such people are known in this noisy age.
When pride and the sense of being separate are quieted, one's self blends into the One. Nanak says: those filled with the Naam cross even the roughest waters.
A shalok of the Third Mehl. 'Assaying the mind-jewel' means examining oneself honestly. Such people are rare in Kali Yuga (the noisy, distracted age). When haumai and duality are conquered, the self merges with the One's Self, and the Naam carries one over the 'difficult, treacherous and terrifying world-ocean'.
What does it look like to honestly examine your own mind?
