Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Everyone calls, "Beloved! Beloved!" But she who pleases the Guru is the one who finds the Beloved.
Our Beloved is always with us, in Truth. With a kind glance, the One brings us close and joins us together.
Here is the gentle surprise: the One we call for was never far away.
Pari-o pari-o karai sabhai hai jaytee — everyone cries out, "Beloved! Beloved!" Gur bhaavai pari-o paa-ee — she finds the Beloved who is pleasing to the Guru. To please the Guru means to live in tune with the teaching. That is what lets the eyes finally see.
Pari-o naalay sad hee — the Beloved is always with us. So meeting is not a journey. It is noticing. It is like hunting all over the house for your glasses, and finding them on your head. Nadree mayl milaa-ee — with a kind glance, the One brings us together. That kindness is grace. It is always here, received as a gift, not earned.
Have you ever searched for something that turned out to be right beside you?
