Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A heart can wander a long, long time, coming and going, searching.
The mist only clears when the One clears it.
Then, turning to the Guru, it understands, and meets the dearest One, and holds the Word of the changeless One forever.
A heart can wander for a very long time, but meeting the One ends the search.
Bharam bharam jonee means wandering and wandering from life to life, coming back again and again. The verse says the heart loses its way when the Master lets it. The mist clears when the One clears it. When the dear One meets us, we understand, as a gurmukh, one who faces the Guru. Then we hold on to the Shabad, the Word of the One who never ends.
Think of being lost in a big mall, then hearing your name called over the speaker. The search is over. You are found.
When has something you were searching for finally appeared after a long wait?
