Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I was wed at the Guru's door, and there I met my Beloved and truly came to know Him.
His Word is humming through every world; and the moment my ego went quiet, my heart was happy.
This one says the soul is joined to the One the moment the ego goes quiet.
Guroo du-aarai hamraa vee-aahu je ho-aa — "my wedding took place at the Guru's door." The Guru is the one who joins the soul to the One. When I met my Husband, I came to know Him.
Tihu lokaa meh sabad ravi-aa hai — the Word fills all three worlds, everything there is. Then the condition is stated exactly: aap ga-i-aa man maani-aa — when the self went away, the mind was glad.
The self here is haumai, the "me, me, me" voice. The wedding cannot happen while it fills the room. Think of trying to hear a friend while you are talking nonstop. When you go quiet, you finally hear them. The quieting of the self opens the door.
What gets easier, or happier, when your need to be the center of things goes quiet?
