Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This world can get so tangled up in worry and in doing harm. But the one who truly knows the One rises above all of it.
Whoever is gently woken up and given a taste of that sweetness comes to understand the wordless wonder. No speech can fully hold it.
Knowing the One is something you taste, and it is bigger than any words.
Ih sansaar bikaar sahsay meh — this world is caught up in bikaar, harmful habits, and sahsaa, worry that never stops. Tari-o barahm gi-aanee — the one who knows the One directly swims free.
The way out is like waking up. Jisahi jagaa-ay pee-aa-ay har ras — the One wakes some people up and gives them har ras to drink, the sweet taste of the One.
Akath kathaa means the unspoken story. It is a truth so real that no words can hold it all. Think of trying to describe the taste of a mango to someone who has never had one. You can talk and talk, but they only really know once they take a bite.
So waking up is a gift. And what it opens up is bigger than language.
Has anything ever felt so wonderful or so true that you couldn't quite find the words for it?
