The fire of desire is cooled and quenched; my mind and body are filled with peace and tranquility.
ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਪੂਰਨ ਮਿਲੇ ਦੁਤੀਆ ਬਿਨਸੀ ਭ੍ਰਾਂਤਿ ॥੧॥
naanak parabh pooran milay dutee-aa binsee bharaaNt. ||1||
O Nanak, I have met my Perfect God; the illusion of duality is dispelled. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The fire of wanting is put out and cooled; my mind and body are filled with peace.
Nanak says: I have met the perfect One, and the false idea of "two" is gone.
When the fire of wanting cools, a deep calm can finally settle in.
Jalan bujhee ... seetal — the fire of craving quenched, the heart cool again: the turn from autumn's searching to reunion. Dutee-aa binsee bhraant — the illusion of duality, of separateness, dissolves. The seasons are now turning toward meeting.
