Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is beyond what eyes can see or words can hold. Yet meeting a holy person, I found myself speaking of the One who cannot be spoken.
A music with no drum and no player began to sound in the tenth gate inside me. There the sweet Naam trickled down like nectar.
The One is beyond sight. Yet meeting a holy person, the unspoken comes into words.
Adisat agochar means unseen and beyond reach. Eyes cannot see the One, and words cannot hold the One. Yet mil saadhoo akath kathaa-i-aa: meeting a saadhoo, a holy and wise person, he began to speak what cannot be spoken.
Then comes a beautiful picture. Anhad sabad means the "unstruck" sound, a music with no drum and no player. Dasam du-aar means the "tenth door," a quiet place deep inside. These are words for inner stillness. When the mind grows quiet, music and sweetness rise inside. Amrit naam chu-aa-i-aa: the sweet Name drips down like nectar.
Think of a noisy room going silent. Suddenly you can hear the soft song that was playing the whole time.
What helps your mind grow quiet?
