Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When a heart turns away and forgets the One, it can drift through life half-asleep, pulled around by wanting more and never quite understanding.
On our own, we can be a bit like that -- not seeing clearly. So how does anyone wake up? The same One that made us is the one that kindles the understanding inside us. The waking-up is a gift, and it is offered to everyone.
manmukh -- the self-willed heart, forgetting the One, drifting half-asleep through life. achayt... agiaan andhaar -- the unawakened, unseeing state, gentled. The turn is grace: aap upaa-ay... aapay keeton gur veechaar -- the Maker both creates us and kindles the understanding in us. We do not wake ourselves alone, and the waking is offered to all.
What is something that finally clicked for you when someone helped you see it?
