Knowing the Secret

ਕਹਤ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਜੋ ਜਾਣੈ ਭੇਉ ॥
kahat naanak jo jaanai bhay-o.
Says Nanak, one who understands this mystery,
ਆਦਿ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨ ਦੇਉ ॥੬॥੫॥
aad purakh niranjan day-o. ||6||5||
becomes the embodiment of the Primal, Immaculate, Divine Lord God. ||6||5||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Nanak says: whoever understands this secret

becomes one with the First Being, the pure, shining One.

To know the secret is to start becoming it.
The deeper layer

Know this secret, and you become one with the First, Pure One.

Kahat naanak jo jaanai bhay-o: Nanak says, whoever knows this secret. Aad purakh niranjan day-o: becomes the aad purakh, the First Being, the niranjan, spotless and pure, shining One. Knowing like this changes you; you become what you see.

A Question to Sit With

Is there something you understand so deeply that it's changed who you are?
