Salok Vaaraan Te Vadheek (Mehl 4), Salok 130 — searched everywhere, found none like the One
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Following the Guru's teaching, say the One's Name: Har, Har.
Pulled by the One's love day and night, my body is dyed through in the One's color, like a robe soaked in dye.
I have searched the whole world and looked everywhere, and I have found no one like the One.
The Guru, the True Guru, has planted the Naam in me, and now my mind does not wobble or wander anywhere else.
Nanak says: I am the servant of the One, the servant of the servants of the Guru, the True Guru.
Nothing in the whole world compares with the One, and once the Naam is planted, the mind stops wandering.
Har rang cholay: the body is like a robe dyed in the One's color. Har jaisaa purakh na labh-ee: no one like the One can be found, though the whole world was searched. Man anat na kaahoo dolay: the mind no longer wobbles toward anything else.
Gul golay means the servant of servants, a humble, glad way of belonging. This closes the saloks of Guru Ram Das in this collection; the next salok begins Guru Arjan's.
Have you ever searched hard for something and finally found what you were looking for?
