Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the mind churns with waves — worry, wanting, restlessness — the Word smooths them flat, and even your speech grows peaceful and easy.
So stay close, always, to the Guru, who is tuned to the One.
The Word calms the waves of the mind, so stay close to the teaching.
Man kay tarang means the waves of the mind: worry, wanting and restlessness. Sabad nivaaray means the Word stills them. Picture a choppy pond going flat and glassy after the wind stops.
Even the rasnaa, the tongue, settles into sahj, natural ease. Your words come out calmer too.
So the advice is simple: stay close to the Guru, the teaching. That teaching is itself tuned to the One, like a phone that stays connected to a good signal.
What calms you down when your thoughts are churning like waves?
