Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A mind soaked in the Word is a deeply satisfied mind.
Without the Naam, what is there to lean on?
The heart is like a temple, and quiet robbers — our own runaway cravings — can slip in and carry off our peace. The first step is simply noticing them, so we can gently show them the door.
A mind soaked in the Word is satisfied, but thieves inside can steal our peace.
Ih man bheejai sabad pateejai — this mind is soaked in the sabad, the Word, and it feels satisfied. Bin naavai ki-aa tayk tikeejai — without the Name, what can anyone lean on?
Antar chor muhai ghar mandar — thieves inside are robbing the house, the temple of the body. These thieves are our own runaway cravings, like greed, anger and pride. In saakat doot na jaataa — the saakat, someone turned away from the One, does not even notice them.
Think of apps quietly draining your phone battery in the background. The first step is to notice them. Then you can close them.
What quietly steals your calm, and how do you notice it happening?
