Salok Bhagat Kabir, Salok 59 — the door opens wide
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: if I meet such a True Guru, the Guru, pleased with me, will kindly give me the gift.
Then the door to freedom opens wide for me, and I pass through it with ease.
When the True Guru is pleased and gives the gift, the narrow door opens wide.
Aisaa satgur jay milai: if I meet such a True Guru. Tuthaa karay pasaa-o, the Guru, pleased, gives a gift of grace. Then mukat du-aaraa moklaa, the door to freedom becomes wide, and one passes through sehjay, easily, without strain.
The salok just before this one spoke of a door thinner than a mustard seed. This one shows what widens it.
Think of a heavy door at school that you push and push. Then someone holds it open, and you walk right through.
When has help from someone wiser made something hard suddenly feel easy?
