Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਅਗਮ ਅਗੋਚਰੁ ਦਰਸੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਸੋ ਪਾਏ ਜਿਸੁ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਭਾਗੁ ॥
agam agochar daras tayraa so paa-ay jis mastak bhaag.
The Blessed Vision of Your Darshan is unapproachable and incomprehensible; he alone obtains it, who has such good destiny recorded upon his forehead.
ਆਪਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਧਾਰੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਬਖਸਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ॥੧॥
aap kirpaal kirpaa parabh Dhaaree satgur bakhsi-aa har naam. ||1||
The Merciful Lord God has bestowed His Mercy, and the True Guru has granted the Lord's Name. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The sight of You is unapproachable and beyond grasping; only the one with such good destiny obtains it.
The Merciful One has shown mercy, and the true Guru has granted the Name.
The vision no one can climb to is simply given, by mercy.
The Darshan is "unapproachable and incomprehensible" — not reached by effort — and comes only by "good destiny" and "His Mercy." The vision no one can climb to is given, through the Guru's gift of the Name.
A Question to Sit With
What good things in your life came as gifts you could never have reached on your own?
