Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Truly listen to the remembrance of the One, with your ears and your whole attention.
Then a deep peace meets you. It feels like arriving at a doorway you were always meant to reach.
Truly listening to the remembrance of the One carries you to a doorway of peace.
This line is the rahaa-o, the "pause," the heart of the shabad. Har kaa simran sun man kaanee — listen to the remembrance of the One with your mind and your ears. Simran means remembering the One with love.
This is Suniai, deep listening. It is not just letting sound drift past. It is the kind of listening where you take something in. Think of the difference between music playing in a shop and your favorite song with headphones on.
The fruit is sukh paavahi har du-aar — you find peace at the One's door. Du-aar means door. A door means arriving, stepping inside, coming home. Real listening carries you to a place of rest you did not even know you were heading toward.
What is the difference, for you, between just hearing something and truly listening to it?
