A Chasing Mind Never Rests; Worries Follow Into Dreams
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
From the start of the day, we can get tangled up chasing shiny things.
When night comes, our worries and wants follow us into our dreams.
This one says: a mind busy chasing things never really rests.
"At the break of day they take care of their affairs," tangled in maa-i-aa. Maya means the shiny, busy world that keeps pulling at us. Then "when night falls," they go into dreams, and even there the same worries keep going.
Think of scrolling a phone all day, then dreaming about the game you were playing. The mind never gets a break. A mind full of grabbing takes its worries right into sleep. Remembering what really matters is what lets it rest.
What helps your mind truly rest, instead of carrying worries into sleep?
