ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਬੁਝਾਏ ਸੋਈ ਬੂਝੈ ॥
jis no bujhaa-ay so-ee boojhai.
He alone understands, whom God inspires to understand.
ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵੈ ਅੰਦਰੁ ਸੂਝੈ ॥
har gun gaavai andar soojhai.
Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, one's inner being is awakened.
ਹਉਮੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਠਾਕਿ ਰਹਾਏ ਸਹਜੇ ਹੀ ਸਚੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੧੨॥
ha-umai mayraa thaak rahaa-ay sehjay hee sach paa-i-aa. ||12||
Egotism and possessiveness are silenced and subdued, and one intuitively finds the True Lord. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Understanding dawns in the one the One awakens. Singing the praise, something deep inside wakes up.
The grip of me and mine grows quiet, and, all on its own, the True One is found.
Understanding is less something you reach and more something that wakes up in you.
Understanding is the One's awakening in us (jis no bujhaa-ay). Praise stirs the inner self awake; haumai and mayraa (me and mine) are subdued, and the True is found sehjay — naturally, without force.
