Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This isn't something you can grab through busywork or extra effort. It comes the way real luck comes — as a gift you didn't manufacture. And there it is, right in your reach: with that good fortune, simply turn your mind to the Oneness.
Avar jatan nahee paa-ee-ai — "not obtained by other efforts (jatan)." Again the pauri deflates the machinery of self-effort. The verse names remembrance instead as a matter of vadai bhaag ("great good fortune"), and leaves that word as it stands; in a contemporary pastoral reading, such fortune may be experienced as becoming receptive to grace. The doing that remains is the simplest: har dhi-aa-ee-ai, turn the mind toward the One.
Is there something you can't force to happen, only make yourself ready for?
