Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Even when life feels like a dark night, there is a pure and gentle light that never goes out, waiting to be noticed.
The old scriptures all sing the same song -- turn toward that light with love. Listen deeply, let it settle inside you, and slowly you begin to see the light itself.
There is a pure light, even in the darkest night.
Rain anDhaaree nirmal jot — the night is dark, but the Light is spotless. Jot means light, the One's light in everything.
The next line uses hard words for a life without the Name: false and unclean. It is about forgetting the Name. It is never about who anyone is or the family they were born into.
Bayd pukaarai bhagat sarot — the Vedas call out for loving devotion. The Vedas are very old Hindu scriptures.
Sun sun maanai vaykhai jot — listening again and again, and trusting it, one sees the Light. This echoes Japji Sahib. There, Suniai means deep listening, and Mannai means taking it to heart. Think of a night-light in a dark room. It was on all along. Once your eyes adjust, you see it.
What is a small light you can turn toward when things feel dark?
