Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wisdom wells up, and unkind thinking drains away.
The high, open sky of the mind is soaked in sweet nectar, like dry ground after a warm rain.
Whoever knows the secret of this skill meets the highest Guru, the Guru who is divine.
When wisdom grows inside you, unkind thinking fades away.
Upjai gi-aan durmat chheejai — wisdom wells up, and bad thinking wears away. Gi-aan is wisdom. Durmat is a twisted, unkind way of thinking.
The gagan is the open sky inside your mind. The verse says it gets soaked in amrit, sweet nectar, like dry ground after warm rain. Whoever learns this kalaa, this inner skill, meets the highest Guru. Like riding a bike, it is something you come to know by doing.
When has getting quiet helped a bad mood pass?
