Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the city of the One he takes his seat, letting go of craving and quarrel.
The horn of inner music rings out its lovely melody. It fills him day and night with the sound-current within.
Guru Nanak turns the yogi's seat and horn into a calm, happy mind.
Yogis sat in a special posture and blew a horn called the singi. Guru Nanak says the true seat is in the One's city. Siv nagree meh aasan baisa-o — I take my seat in the city of the One. The true posture is letting go of craving and quarrel.
The horn becomes the Anhad Naad, the unstruck music. It is a sound heard inside, day and night, with no instrument playing it. Think of a room after an argument ends. When the shouting stops, you can finally hear the soft music that was playing all along. So all the gear of the wandering yogi becomes a state of the heart.
What can you hear inside only after you let go of an argument or a craving?
