ਨਾਨਕ ਬਿਰਹੀ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਕੇ ਆਨ ਨ ਕਤਹੂ ਜਾਹਿ ॥੮॥
naanak birhee barahm kay aan na kathoo jaahi. ||8||
O Nanak, the lovers of God do not go anywhere else. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever knows the taste of love keeps the One's feet in mind.
Nanak says: those who long for the One go nowhere else.
Once you taste this love, you stop searching everywhere else.
Once you have tasted love for the One, you stop looking anywhere else.
Paraym su-aa-o: the taste of love. Whoever has it keeps the One's charan, the feet, in mind, a picture of humble, close devotion. Birhee barahm kay: those who long for the One. Aan na kathoo jaahi: they go nowhere else.
