Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl:
ਐਸੀ ਕਉਨ ਬਿਧੇ ਦਰਸਨ ਪਰਸਨਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
aisee ka-un biDhay darsan parsanaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
How may I obtain the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan? ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In what way can I come to see You, and be touched by Your presence?
The deepest questions begin with a longing to see what is real.
Longing to see the One begins with a single question: how?
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Aisee ka-un biDhay: in what way? Darsan parsanaa: to see You and be touched by Your presence. Everything that follows grows out of this one question, the way a whole tree grows from a seed.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you long to understand or see clearly?
