Verse 1 of 4

The Unseen One Becomes Visible: the Guru's Gift

ਆਸਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
aasaa mehlaa 5.
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਗੁਰਹਿ ਦਿਖਾਇਓ ਲੋਇਨਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gureh dikhaa-i-o lo-inaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Guru has revealed Him to my eyes. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Guru has revealed Him to my eyes.

The One who couldn't be seen becomes visible — and the seeing is the Guru's gift.
The deeper layer

The Pause is the whole event in one line: "the Guru has revealed Him to my eyes." The One who could not be seen is now seen — and the seeing is the Guru's gift, not the eye's achievement. What was invisible becomes visible through the Guru.

A Question to Sit With

Has someone helped you finally see something that was there all along?
