Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Searching my own mind and body all the way through, I found the One I had been longing for.
I found the teacher, the true go-between, who joined me to the One.
A brief, luminous Shalok of the Fourth Mehl — just two lines, and one of the sweetest resolutions in the Vaar. The search that runs through so many of these verses (dig deep, seek within) reaches its find: mai man tan khoj khojediaa — "searching my own mind and body," the One was found. Note where: not out in the world but "all the way through" oneself. The teacher is named visat guroo — the "go-between" or bridge — the one who joins the seeker to what was sought. After all the longing, this is the quiet click of arrival.
When have you finally found something after a long search? Where was it — and how did it feel the moment you found it?
