Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One knows everything and sees everything, higher than the highest.
The One shows itself, then draws us to remember it.
Sometimes the One is a silent, still presence; sometimes it speaks deep wisdom.
The One tastes bitter to no one — it's dear to every single heart. I could never praise it enough.
A gentle Pauree in the aapay series, closing on a line worth savoring: kisai na bhaavai kaurhaa — the One "does not seem bitter to anyone; He is pleasing to all." The One is not harsh, not sour, not against anyone — universally dear. Even when the One is a "silent sage" (a still, wordless presence) or "speaks spiritual wisdom," the flavor is always sweet. The Pauree ends in the overflow the Vaar keeps reaching: "His Praises cannot be described; forever I am a sacrifice to Him." For a child: the deepest goodness at the heart of everything is never harsh or against you — it's sweet, and it's for everyone.
What makes someone feel 'sweet' rather than 'sour' to be around?
