Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Left to itself, the mind runs off in every direction, chasing this and that and getting lost.
It keeps spinning up new wants, always hungry, never quite full.
Yet an endless treasure is buried right inside it — and still it goes looking outside for things that only leave it emptier. So keep the Name close: that is where the treasure actually is.
antaa dhan dhar dabi-aa — an infinite treasure buried within, yet the restless mind goes bikh bhaalan, searching for poison, things that harm rather than nourish. dah dis, the ten directions: the scattered mind. The remedy is turning attention inward to the Name, the treasure already held.
What is something you already have that you sometimes go looking for elsewhere?
