Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Picture someone who has set down the constant grabbing of 'I want, I want,' and walks through the world lightly, at peace.
Anger does not grab the steering wheel. Craving does not run the show.
And in that quiet, roomy heart, the One is right at home.
This one says that when the "I want, I want" goes quiet, the One lives in that heart.
Aasaa mansaa sagal ti-aagai — setting down every hope and craving. Jag tay rahai niraasaa — living in the world without being pulled around by wants. Kaam kroDh jih parsai naahan — where strong desire and anger don't take hold. Tih ghat barahm nivaasaa — in that heart, the One makes a home.
This doesn't mean switching off your feelings. It means your wants stop driving the car. Think of a room with no clutter. There is space to breathe, and space for a guest. A quiet heart has room for the One.
What is something that feels more peaceful when you stop chasing it so hard?
