By thinking of the Guru's side, the mind became stable and settled. The restless mind became tranquil, neither coming nor going.
Kabir shares a profound insight here: by dedicating the mind to the Guru's side, the restless mind finds an incredible stillness. This stillness is not merely physical calm; it is a settled state that transcends the cycle of coming and going. The couplet emphasizes that true peace is achieved through surrender and focus, transforming constant agitation into deep, abiding tranquility.
