Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
What felt bitter and poisonous in me was slowly turned sweet, like nectar.
Like a plain bitter plant catching the scent of sandalwood, a lovely fragrance spread through me.
The transformation deepens with two beautiful images: "from poison I have been transformed into Ambrosial Nectar... from bitter herbs into sandalwood, this fragrance permeates me." What was toxic and bitter inside — the anger, the scattered cravings of P0 — is transformed, not just suppressed. The bitter shrub standing near the sandalwood tree slowly takes on its fragrance (an image the Bhagats loved too). For a child: the bitter, prickly feelings inside you can slowly be turned sweet — you can be changed, not just told to hide them.
What's a bitter or prickly feeling you have that you'd like to see slowly turn sweeter?
