Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind lives inside my body, and the True One lives inside my mind.
Meeting that True One, I blend into truth and become part of it.
One who serves bows gently at the feet of the One.
And when a whole and true guide arrives, the meeting itself is arranged for you.
The True One is closer than we think.
Tan meh manoo-aa man meh saachaa: the mind lives in the body, and the True One lives in the mind. It is like searching the whole house for your glasses while they sit on your head. What is real is nearer than the places we look for it.
The last line says the final meeting is milai milaa-ay: you meet because you are brought to meet. We do not build this meeting like a machine. When the whole, true Guru comes, the meeting is arranged for us, as a gift.
What might you find if you looked inward instead of outward?
