[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 189014, member: 35"] Taranjeet Singh ji Let me post an alternative translation that may make more sense. This one is from Dr. Manmohan Singh. I did a cross-check of Gurmukhi to English, and this translation is closer to the original Dr. Manmohan Singh's approach tends less to the metaphysical of dreams and mantras and more to the relaxing of the mind, away from the attachments of the ordinary world and more toward the soothing effects of attachment to the satguru. See if this second translation gives you a somewhat different impression. Then maybe you will be able to identify where you are stuck and need more clarity. Or maybe you will be satisfied that you are fine with your understanding. Possibly the two images that would need more clarification are "guru's feet" and "death's noose." Possibly also "saint's refuge." ਕਾਨੜਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ Kānṛā mėhlā 5. Kanra 5th Guru. ਸਾਧ ਸਰਨਿ ਚਰਨ ਚਿਤੁ ਲਾਇਆ ॥ Sāḏẖ saran cẖaran cẖiṯ lā▫i▫ā. Repairing to the saints refuge, I have attuned my mind to the Lord's feet. ਸੁਪਨ ਕੀ ਬਾਤ ਸੁਨੀ ਪੇਖੀ ਸੁਪਨਾ ਨਾਮ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Supan kī bāṯ sunī pekẖī supnā nām manṯar saṯgurū driṛ▫ā▫i▫ā. ||1|| rahā▫o. When the true Guru enshrined the spell of the Name within me, then did I see, as I had heard, that the world is but a thing of a dream, yea, only a dream. Pause. ਨਹ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਨੋ ਰਾਜ ਜੋਬਨਿ ਧਨਿ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਧਾਇਆ ॥ Nah ṯaripṯāno rāj joban ḏẖan bahur bahur fir ḏẖā▫i▫ā. Man is satiated not with power, youth and wealth and runs after them again and again. ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਸਭ ਬੁਝੀ ਹੈ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਪਾਈ ਗੁਨ ਗਾਇਆ ॥੧॥ Sukẖ pā▫i▫ā ṯarisnā sabẖ bujẖī hai sāʼnṯ pā▫ī gun gā▫i▫ā. ||1|| Singing the Lord's praises, I have obtained peace, gathered tranquility and my desire is wholly stilled. ਬਿਨੁ ਬੂਝੇ ਪਸੂ ਕੀ ਨਿਆਈ ਭ੍ਰਮਿ ਮੋਹਿ ਬਿਆਪਿਓ ਮਾਇਆ ॥ Bin būjẖe pasū kī ni▫ā▫ī bẖaram mohi bi▫āpi▫o mā▫i▫ā. Without true understanding, the mortal is like the beast and he is engrossed in doubt, worldly love and wealth. ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਜਮ ਜੇਵਰੀ ਕਾਟੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥੨॥੧੦॥ Sāḏẖsang jam jevrī kātī Nānak sahj samā▫i▫ā. ||2||10|| Associating with the saints society, death's noose is cut and one merges in his Lord, O Nanak.
