Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Says Nanak: the one whose true Guru is perfect —
for him, the unstruck bugles of ecstasy resound.
The shabad ends in music.
The one whose true Guru is perfect hears something wonderful. Vaajay taa kai anhad tooraa — for that one, the unstruck bugles sound. Anhad means unstruck: music that no one plays on any instrument. It is the sound of bliss, playing inside.
Look back at the whole road. There were robbers, a toll-collector, and the record-keepers. The soul with the perfect Guru is safe from all of them. And that freedom ends in music within. Think of getting home safe after a scary trip. You can finally breathe, and your heart starts to sing.
What inner music might you hear once you feel truly safe?
