ਵਿਣੁ ਚਾਖੇ ਸਾਦੁ ਕਿਸੈ ਨ ਆਇਆ ॥
vin chaakhay saad kisai na aa-i-aa.
Without tasting, no one enjoys the flavor.
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਆਇਆ ॥
gur kai sabad amrit pee-aa-i-aa.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar.
ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀ ਅਮਰਾ ਪਦੁ ਹੋਏ ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਸੁ ਤਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੭॥
amrit pee amraa pad ho-ay gur kai sabad ras taahaa hay. ||7||
The Ambrosial Nectar is drunk, and the immoral status is obtained, when one obtains the sublime essence of the Guru's Shabad. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You cannot know how sweet something is by only hearing about it. You have to taste it yourself.
When you drink in the Guru's Word yourself, a lasting, deathless joy fills you.
Some things you can only know by tasting them for yourself.
Direct experience outweighs hearsay. The nectar tasted brings amraa pad, the deathless state: a joy that lasts.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you only understood once you tried it?
