ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਤ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਭਾਗੈ ॥
satgur milai ta dubiDhaa bhaagai.
Meeting the True Guru, duality is dispelled.
ਕਮਲੁ ਬਿਗਾਸਿ ਮਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਲਾਗੈ ॥
kamal bigaas man har parabh laagai.
The heart-lotus blossoms forth, and the mind is attached to the Lord God.
ਜੀਵਤੁ ਮਰੈ ਮਹਾ ਰਸੁ ਆਗੈ ॥੨॥
jeevat marai mahaa ras aagai. ||2||
One who remains dead while yet alive obtains the greatest happiness hereafter. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Meet the teacher and your double-mindedness clears away. The heart-flower opens, and your mind leans into the One. Whoever dies while still alive finds the greatest happiness there is.
When two-mindedness clears, the heart opens and leans toward the One.
Duality, two-mindedness, is dispelled; the heart-lotus blossoms (the same blossoming as the Suniai pauris of Japji). Attachment shifts from the world to the One. The reward of the ego-death is the deepest happiness.
A Question to Sit With
When has your mind been pulled in two directions? What helped it settle?
