Mind Melting Into Mind

ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣਾ ਬਹੁੜਿ ਨ ਹੋਵੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਹਜਿ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥
aavan jaanaa bahurh na hovai gurmukh sahj Dhi-aa-i-aa.
He does not come and go in reincarnation any longer; the Gurmukh meditates intuitively.
ਮਨ ਹੀ ਤੇ ਮਨੁ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਮਨ ਹੀ ਮੰਨੁ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥
man hee tay man mili-aa su-aamee man hee man samaa-i-aa.
From the mind, the mind merges into our Lord and Master; the mind is absorbed into the Mind.
ਸਾਚੇ ਹੀ ਸਚੁ ਸਾਚਿ ਪਤੀਜੈ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥੪॥
saachay hee sach saach pateejai vichahu aap gavaa-i-aa. ||4||
In truth, the True Lord is pleased with truth; eradicate egotism from within yourself. ||4||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

No more coming and going, being born again and again; the one who turns to the Guru meditates with natural ease.

Through the mind itself, the mind meets the Master; the mind sinks into the Mind.

The True One is pleased with truth; so clear the ego out from within yourself.

The mind can melt into the One like a stream flowing into the sea.
The deeper layer

The mind melts into the One like a stream into the sea, once ego is let go.

Aavan jaanaa bahurh na hovai: the coming and going ends; the one turned to the Guru remembers with sahj, natural ease. Man hee tay man mili-aa: the mind flows into the One like a stream into the sea, absorbed into the Mind. As aap, ego, is let go, the truth in us meets the True One.

A Question to Sit With

Have you ever felt yourself become part of something much bigger?
