ਘਰਿ ਰਹੁ ਰੇ ਮਨ ਮੁਗਧ ਇਆਨੇ ॥

Remain in your own home, O my foolish and ignorant mind.
ਰਾਮੁ ਜਪਹੁ ਅੰਤਰਗਤਿ ਧਿਆਨੇ ॥
raam japahu antargat Dhi-aanay.
Meditate on the Lord - concentrate deep within your being and meditate on Him.
ਲਾਲਚ ਛੋਡਿ ਰਚਹੁ ਅਪਰੰਪਰਿ ਇਉ ਪਾਵਹੁ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਹੇ ॥੧॥
laalach chhod rachahu aprampar i-o paavhu mukat du-aaraa hay. ||1||
Renounce your greed, and merge with the infinite Lord. In this way, you shall find the door of liberation. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Settle down and come home to your own quiet center, O wandering mind of mine.
Turn inward and rest your attention on the One, deep inside where it already lives.
Let go of grabbing and clutching, and melt into the boundless One — and there, the door to freedom quietly opens.
Freedom begins when the restless mind comes home to itself.
Ghar rahu ray man — stay at home, O mind. Home is the quiet center inside, where meditation happens, and letting go of greed (laalach) opens the mukat du-aaraa, the door of liberation.
A Question to Sit With
Where is the quiet center inside you that you can always come home to?
