ਮਨੂਆ ਅਸਥਿਰੁ ਸਬਦੇ ਰਾਤਾ ਏਹਾ ਕਰਣੀ ਸਾਰੀ ॥੧੮॥
manoo-aa asthir sabday raataa ayhaa karnee saaree. ||18||
Imbued with the Shabad, his mind becomes steady and stable; this is the most excellent action. ||18||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Soaked in the Word, the mind grows steady and unshakable --
and this is the finest thing a person can do.
A steady mind is one of the finest things you can grow.
Manoo-aa asthir — the mind made stable; sabday raataa — imbued with the Word. Ehaa karnee saaree — this is the most excellent deed (karni). Steadiness is named as the highest action: not a feat, but a mind that has stopped being blown around.
A Question to Sit With
What helps your own mind feel steadier and less easily blown around?
