ਧਾਤੁਰ ਬਾਜੀ ਸਬਦਿ ਨਿਵਾਰੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਈ ॥੧੨॥
Dhaatur baajee sabad nivaaray naam vasai man aa-ee. ||12||
Restrain your restless wanderings through the Shabad, and the Naam will come to dwell in your mind. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The mind loves to run around like a restless game with no end. Let the teaching gently rein it in.
As the running settles, the Name quietly moves in and makes a home in you.
When the running settles, peace moves in.
Dhaatur baajee shabad nivaaray — the Word calms the restless “play” of the roaming mind. When the running stops, naam vasai man aa-ee: the Name comes to dwell within.
