Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Gently steady your restless mind and let it settle at home — meeting the teaching, this understanding arrives.
Then, seeing the One that can't be seen, you stand amazed and delighted — the pain fades and peace fills in.
This one says: bring your restless mind home, and wonder fills the place where the ache was. Chaltou thaak rakhahu ghar apnai — steady the wandering mind and keep it at home. The mind is like a puppy running all over the park. You call it back gently, again and again, until it sits by you. Meeting the Guru is how you learn this.
Then comes bismaad: awe, a kind of amazed delight. You see the adrist, the One that can't be seen. And you are filled not with fear but with wonder. Dukh bisrai sukh ho-ee — the pain is forgotten, and peace comes.
This is what Raag Sorath keeps coming back to. The restless mind comes home. Instead of dread, it finds a calm, happy wonder. That wonder is close to the feeling in Waheguru, the Sikh word for the Wonderful One.
What helps your busy mind settle and feel at home?
