ਕਿਤਹਿ ਅਸਥਾਨਿ ਤੂ ਟਿਕਨੁ ਨ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਦੇਖੀ ਆਖੀ ॥
kiteh asthaan too tikan na paavahi ih biDh daykhee aakhee.
You don't stay put anywhere; I have seen this with my eyes.
ਸੰਤਾ ਬਿਨੁ ਤੈ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਛਾਡਿਆ ਸੰਤ ਪਰੇ ਗੋਬਿਦ ਕੀ ਪਾਖੀ ॥੧॥
santaa bin tai ko-ay na chhaadi-aa sant paray gobid kee paakhee. ||1||
You have not spared anyone, except the Saints - the Saints are on the side of the Lord of the Universe. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
That restlessness finds no place to rest, no matter where it lands — I have seen it with my own eyes.
It tugs at nearly everyone. The only ones it lets be are the saints, who stand on the side of the One.
Rest is something you settle into.
The fly-restlessness finds no resting place anywhere and spares no one — except the saints (santaa), settled in the One, who stand on the One's side. Rest is found by settling.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you feel most settled and least restless?
