Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
On the sixth day, listen for a music no one has to play -- a sound that hums on its own, underneath everything, when your heart grows quiet enough.
When you become open, you are welcomed into that inner home, and the Teaching goes all the way through you, like a thread through cloth.
Looking holy on the outside tires itself out and comes to nothing. What lasts is living truthfully, until you blend right into the Truth.
khasti, the sixth day. anhad shabad -- the "unstruck sound," the inner music that no instrument makes, heard when the mind is still. sabday bhaydai -- pierced through by the Teaching, like a thread drawn all the way through cloth. Outer costume without inner truth simply wears itself out. What endures is saach -- living truthfully until one merges into the Truth.
What is the difference between looking good and being good?
