ਸੇਜ ਏਕ ਏਕੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਭਰਮਈਆ ॥
sayj ayk ayko parabh thaakur mahal na paavai manmukh bharma-ee-aa.
There is one bed for the soul-bride, and the same bed for God, her Lord and Master. The self-willed manmukh does not obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence; she wanders around, in limbo.
ਗੁਰੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਕਰਤ ਸਰਣਿ ਜੇ ਆਵੈ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਇ ਮਿਲੈ ਖਿਨੁ ਢੀਲ ਨ ਪਈਆ ॥੫॥
gur gur karat saran jay aavai parabh aa-ay milai khin dheel na pa-ee-aa. ||5||
Uttering, "Guru, Guru", she seeks His Sanctuary; so God comes to meet her, without a moment's delay. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is one resting place, shared by the heart and the One. The turned-away mind wanders and never finds that home.
Call out "Guru, Guru" and come for shelter, and the One comes to meet you without waiting even a moment.
*Call out and take shelter, and you are met at once.*
sayj ayk ayko prabh -- one bed for soul and One; the two were never separate. The manmukh (turned-away mind) wanders and misses it; but gur gur karat saran -- calling out and taking shelter -- brings the One khin dheel na pa-ee-aa (without a moment's delay).
A Question to Sit With
When has help arrived the moment you finally asked for it?
