Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I quieted my grabbing, restless mind, I saw a clean and peaceful place inside, and I was soaked through with the One's sweetness.
Now I know no other. There is just the One — and this is what the Guru helped me see.
When the grabbing mind grows quiet, a clean, peaceful place opens inside. Then there is only the One.
Manoo-aa maar means bringing the restless mind under control. It is about quieting the mind's grabbing, not hurting anything. Nirmal pad cheeni-aa means I came to know the pure state. Think of a snow globe after it has been shaken. Set it down, and the flakes settle until you can see clearly.
The verse says I know no other but the One. This is not a narrow view. It is finding that everything is the One, showing up in countless ways. Satgur boojh bujhaa-ee means the True Guru gave this understanding.
What helps you quiet your mind when it will not stop grabbing at things?
