Kabit Savaiye Bhai Gurdas Ji

ਅੰਤਰ ਅਛਿਤ ਹੀ ਦਿਸੰਤਰਿ ਗਵਨ ਕਰੈ ਪਾਛੈ ਪਰੇ ਪਹੁਚੈ ਨ ਪਾਇਕੁ ਜਉ ਧਾਵਈ ।
antar achhit hee disantar gavan karai paachhai pare pahuchai na paaeik jau dhaavee |

Despite well hidden in the body, mind still reaches far off places. If someone tries to chase it, he just cannot reach it.

ਪਹੁਚੈ ਨ ਰਥੁ ਪਹੁਚੈ ਨ ਗਜਰਾਜੁ ਬਾਜੁ ਪਹੁਚੈ ਨ ਖਗ ਮ੍ਰਿਗ ਫਾਂਧਤ ਉਡਾਵਈ ।
pahuchai na rath pahuchai na gajaraaj baaj pahuchai na khag mrig faandhat uddaavee |

No chariot, a swift horse or even Airawat (a legendary elephant) can reach it. Neither a fast flying bird nor a galloping deer can match it.

ਪਹੁਚੈ ਨ ਪਵਨ ਗਵਨ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਨ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਅਰਧ ਉਰਧ ਅੰਤਰੀਛ ਹੁਇ ਨ ਪਾਵਈ ।
pahuchai na pavan gavan tribhavan prat aradh uradh antareechh hue na paavee |

Even the wind which has its reach in the three worlds cannot reach it. One who is capable of reaching the land of the world beyond, cannot win the race of mind.

ਪੰਚ ਦੂਤ ਭੂਤ ਲਗਿ ਅਧਮੁ ਅਸਾਧੁ ਮਨੁ ਗਹੇ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਬਸਿ ਆਵਈ ।੩੧੩।
panch doot bhoot lag adham asaadh man gahe gur giaan saadhasang bas aavee |313|

Inveigled by the five vices of maya that has embraced it like a demon, the low and incorrigible mind can only be controlled and disciplined if it accepts the initiation of the True Guru through the kind blessings of saintly and true devotees of the Lord.
