ਗਉੜੀ ਗੁਆਰੇਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥
ga-orhee gu-aarayree mehlaa 3.
Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:
ਤੂੰ ਅਕਥੁ ਕਿਉ ਕਥਿਆ ਜਾਹਿ ॥
tooN akath ki-o kathi-aa jaahi.
You are Indescribable; how can I describe You?
ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੁ ਮਾਰਣੁ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਹਿ ॥
gur sabad maaran man maahi samaahi.
Those who subdue their minds, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, are absorbed in You.
ਤੇਰੇ ਗੁਣ ਅਨੇਕ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਨਹ ਪਾਹਿ ॥੧॥
tayray gun anayk keemat nah paahi. ||1||
Your Glorious Virtues are countless; their value cannot be estimated. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You cannot be described -- so how could I describe you? Those who quiet their minds through the Word melt into you. Your good qualities are beyond counting; no one can put a price on you.
You cannot describe the One -- but by quieting the mind you can melt into it.
And a humble note: the One is beyond all describing. Yet those who subdue the mind through the Shabad are absorbed -- you reach the indescribable not by describing but by quieting. The virtues are countless, beyond appraisal (kudrat).
A Question to Sit With
Is there something you understand better by going quiet than by talking about it?
