Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
After wandering and searching for a long time, I met a wise, good-hearted teacher who helped me understand.
All the other ways I had tried didn't help — so now I keep the One in my heart.
Sometimes the search ends only when we stop trying everything else.
Firat firat bhaytay jan saaDhoo — after wandering and wandering, I met a holy person. Poorai gur samjhaa-i-aa — the perfect teacher helped me understand. Poorai gur means the complete, perfect teacher.
Then comes an honest admission: aan sagal biDh kaam na aavai — no other way worked. That is not giving up. It is more like clearing a table. Once the clutter is gone, there is room to set down something new. Here, that clearing makes room for the Name.
Have you ever struggled with something for a long time before someone finally helped it click?
