Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Through the Guru's teaching, the mind becomes clean, and it speaks the sweet, life-giving heart of Truth.
The Naam of the One lives in the mind always, and inside itself the mind is content.
I give my whole self, forever, to my Guru, through whom I came to know the One living inside me.
The One lives inside you, and the Guru helps you recognize it.
gurmatee man nirmal ho-aa: through the Guru's teaching, the mind grows clean. amrit tat vakhaanai: then it speaks of amrit, the sweet nectar of what is true.
vich man hee man maanai: the mind is happy within itself. It stops reaching outside for things to fill it up.
sad balihaaree gur apunay: I give my whole heart to my Guru. Why? jit aatam raam pachhaanai: through the Guru, I came to know Aatam Raam, the One living as the Self inside me.
Think of hunting all over the house for your glasses, then finding them on your head. The One was never far away. Being thankful to the Guru who showed you is the most natural thing.
When your mind is quiet, what does it feel like to be content with just being?
