Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Their hearts leap with joy just from being near true wisdom.
Even hearing the story of the One sounds sweet to them — and this closeness grows until the heart and the One become one.
The shabad closes in shared joy: the hearts of the wise rejoice just from seeing the Guru, and even hearing the story of the Name sounds sweet to them — the mark of a heart in love is that it never tires of what it loves. And the final line sounds Ram Das's recurring wonder once more: servant Nanak has become the Lord — the Lord abides within his mind. The whole run of shabads keeps returning to this: love, followed all the way home, ends not in distance but in union — the One coming to dwell within the one who loved it. The joy that began as delight at being near ends as the two becoming one.
What is something you never get tired of, no matter how many times you experience it?
