mehlaa 5.
Fifth Mehl:
ਜਾਣੁ ਵਸੰਦੋ ਮੰਝਿ ਪਛਾਣੂ ਕੋ ਹੇਕੜੋ ॥
jaan vasando manjh pachhaanoo ko haykrho.
Know that He dwells within all; rare are those who realize this.
ਤੈ ਤਨਿ ਪੜਦਾ ਨਾਹਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੈ ਗੁਰੁ ਭੇਟਿਆ ॥੨॥
tai tan parh-daa naahi naanak jai gur bhayti-aa. ||2||
There is no obscuring veil on the body of that one, O Nanak, who meets the Guru. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Know that the One lives inside everyone — though only a few see it.
Nanak says, for the heart that meets the Guru, no curtain hangs between it and the One.
The only curtain between you and the One is the sense that there is one.
A Dakhanay shalok. Meeting the Guru lifts the 'veil' — the felt sense of separation. Nothing stands between the awakened heart and the One; the veil was only ever a feeling.
A Question to Sit With
What sometimes makes you feel far from the people or things you love?
