Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wiping away the three usual pulls, the heart lives in a fourth, freer place,
and this is a love for the One like no other.
Past the three usual pulls of the mind, there is a fourth, freer place.
Tarai gun maytay — wiping away the three qualities. Old Indian teaching says three gun, or qualities, spin the ordinary mind. One is restless drive. One is heaviness and dullness. One is goodness and calm. Cha-uthai vartai — the seeker lives in the fourth state, beyond all three.
Ayhaa bhagat niraaree — this is devotion like no other. Bhagat means loving devotion. Here even "being good" is not the last step. Think of a kite. Gusts push it one way, then another. But above the gusts there is a steady sky where it just floats. That steady sky is the fourth state, a heart simply in tune with the One.
What would it feel like to not be tugged around by every mood?
