Salok Vaaraan Te Vadheek (Mehl 3), Salok 89 — everything is already with you
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O rainbird, speak the True Word with natural calm, from the heart.
Everything is already with you; the True Guru shows you this.
Know your own self, and you will meet your Beloved; grace will pour down in heavy rain.
Drop by drop, the sweet nectar falls softly, and all thirst and hunger go away.
The crying and calling out stop; your light melts into the great Light.
Nanak says: the happy brides, the souls who love the One, sleep in peace, melted into the True Naam.
What the seeker longs for is already near, and knowing oneself is how it is found.
Sabh kichh tayrai naal hai: everything is with you, and the True Guru shows it. The search ends in aap pachhaaneh, knowing your own self. Then the Beloved is met, and grace falls jhim jhim, drop by drop, softly.
Jotee jot milaa-ay, light merging into Light, is a well-loved picture of the soul finding it was never apart from the one Light — like a candle's glow joining the daylight.
What might already be inside you that you keep looking for somewhere else?
