Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the good seeds planted long ago by kind actions finally sprouted, I met the One. The One is fully alive to joy and fully free inside.
The darkness lifted the moment we met. I had felt asleep for the longest time. Now something in me has woken up at last.
This one says that when the time is ripe, meeting the One feels like waking up.
Poorab karam ankur jab pargatay — when the sprouts of karam, past actions, broke through the ground. Think of a seed planted long ago. For a long time nothing shows. Then one morning, a green shoot. The verse puts that sprouting just before the meeting.
Bhayti-o purakh rasik bairaagee — I met the One who is both rasik and bairaagee. Rasik means fully alive to joy. Bairaagee means free, holding on to nothing. In the One, joy and freedom sit together.
Miti-o andhayr milat har — the darkness lifted when I met the One. Janam janam kee so-ee jaagee — asleep for lifetimes, now awake. It feels like a fresh morning after a very long night.
Have you ever suddenly understood something and felt like you'd just woken up?
