Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Angels, humans, and silent sages all long for this devotion — but without the True Guru it is not attained.
The pandits and the astrologers read and read their books, and understanding does not come.
The waiting list for true devotion is glorious: sur, nar, mun jan — celestial beings, humans, the silent sages who mastered every austerity of speechlessness. All long for it; longing alone does not open it, and neither does the opposite specialty — the pandits' and astrologers' endless reading. Between the mystics who won't speak and the scholars who won't stop, the gate stays shut, because it is a given gate: the True Guru opens it. Grace has no substitute — not silence, not scholarship, not even angelic rank.
What have you longed for that no amount of trying could force — and what finally happened?
