[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 188902, member: 12855"] My understanding below: ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ॥ Aasaa Mehalaa 1 || ਮਨੁ ਮੈਗਲੁ ਸਾਕਤੁ ਦੇਵਾਨਾ ॥ Man Maigal Saakath Dhaevaanaa || When the mid loses its way from the Gurbani path, it becomes like a crazed elephant. ਬਨ ਖੰਡਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹਿ ਹੈਰਾਨਾ ॥ Ban Khandd Maaeiaa Mohi Hairaanaa || It is trapped by the love of illusion/temptation, and drifts round the world jungle aimlessly. ਇਤ ਉਤ ਜਾਹਿ ਕਾਲ ਕੇ ਚਾਪੇ ॥ Eith Outh Jaahi Kaal Kae Chaapae || Due to attachment to illusion, the mind becomes crushed by spiritual death, and wanders here and there without direction.

What other bitter sweet pills are you swallowing that get in the way of your spiritual path? ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਮੁਗਧੁ ਕਹਹੁ ਕਿਉ ਰਹਸੀ ॥ Eihu Man Mugadhh Kehahu Kio Rehasee || The mind stuck in the wonderment of illusion loses its intellect. So tell me, how can it be the foolish mind be stilled and kept calm? ਬਿਨੁ ਸਮਝੇ ਜਮ ਕਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਸਹਸੀ ॥ Bin Samajhae Jam Kaa Dhukh Sehasee || Without true understanding, this mind suffers the pains of spiritual death. ਆਪੇ ਬਖਸੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲੈ ॥ Aapae Bakhasae Sathigur Maelai || The person who makes the effort to find Ik Oankaar within themself, is blessed. ਕਾਲੁ ਕੰਟਕੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਸਚੁ ਪੇਲੈ ॥੨॥ Kaal Kanttak Maarae Sach Paelai ||2|| The hurt soul is looked after and nurtured, and gains protection from the Truth.
