Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The body has nine doors — eyes, ears, nose, mouth and the rest — and what comes through them tastes flat and dull. The nectar trickles in through the tenth door.
Be kind to me, be kind, be kind, my Beloved, so that through the Guru's Word I may drink the sweet taste of the One.
The deepest sweetness comes through an inner door, the tenth door.
The body has na-o darvaaj, nine doors: eyes, ears, nose, mouth and the rest. Through them we taste the outside world. But their taste is feekay, flat and bland. It never fills us for long.
Ras amrit dasvay chu-eejai: the nectar trickles through the tenth door. This is the inner door of awareness. Think of a house with nine windows onto a noisy street, and one quiet door into a garden.
So the seeker asks, kirpaa kirpaa kirpaa: mercy, mercy, mercy. Then, through the Guru's Word, har ras peejai, one drinks the sweetness of the One. Grace is asked for and received. It is a gift, never a wage.
Where do you go, inside yourself, to find deep quiet?
