The Lord, the Guru, the Enticer, has enticed my mind.
ਹਉ ਆਕਲ ਬਿਕਲ ਭਈ ਗੁਰ ਦੇਖੇ ਹਉ ਲੋਟ ਪੋਟ ਹੋਇ ਪਈਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
ha-o aakal bikal bha-ee gur daykhay ha-o lot pot ho-ay pa-ee-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I am stunned and amazed, gazing upon my Guru; I have entered the realm of wonder and bliss. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The beloved One, the Guru, has won my heart completely.

Seeing the Guru, I am so amazed I can barely think, and I am lost in wonder and delight.

*Wonder can leave you happily amazed and undone.*
The deeper layer

The rahau. mohan mohi man la-ee-aa -- the Enticer has captivated the mind. aakal bikal... lot pot -- dizzy with wonder. This is bismaad, the awe in which, as the philosophy has it, the oneness reveals itself.

A Question to Sit With

What has left you so amazed you could barely find words?
