The Boiling Pot Cools

ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣੁ ਰਹਿਓ ॥
aavan jaan rahi-o.
My coming and going in reincarnation is ended.
ਤਪਤ ਕੜਾਹਾ ਬੁਝਿ ਗਇਆ ਗੁਰਿ ਸੀਤਲ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੀਓ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
tapat karhaahaa bujh ga-i-aa gur seetal naam dee-o. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The boiling cauldron has cooled down; the Guru has blessed me with the cooling, soothing Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My coming and going has ended.

The boiling pot inside me has cooled. The Guru gave me the Naam, cool and soothing like water on a hot day.

A heated, restless heart can be cooled and soothed.
The deeper layer

A boiling pot is a heated, restless mind. The seetal (cooling) Naam cools it, like water on a hot day.

A Question to Sit With

What cools you down when your mind feels like it's boiling?
