Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind can be as restless as the wind, blowing every which way, but let it settle, even for one quiet breath, and the peace of the Name moves in.
Then what I say, what I see, what I hear all get colored by what is real, and the burning of endless wanting cools right down.
Living simply on the gift of the Name, content, I drink something sweet and calming, easily, like water.
manoo-aa pa-un — the mind like wind; bind sukhvaasee — resting even a moment; jal boojhee — the fire of trisna (craving) is quenched. aas niraas rahai — living among hopes yet free of them; nij ghar taarhee — a trance in one's own inner home; bhikhiaa naam — the Name as alms, the renunciate's true food; amrit sahj peeaa-ee — drinking amrit with natural ease. The stilled mind is the condition for tasting the Name.
When does your busy mind get a chance to rest, even for a moment?
