Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Serving the perfect True Guru, I have found the Perfect One.
By perfect good fortune I meditate, and I keep the perfect Word in my mind.
Through perfect wisdom and meditation, the dirt in me has been washed away.
The One is my holy pool and place of pilgrimage; I wash my mind there.
Whoever lets the proud self die in the Word and quiets the mind — blessed is the mother who gave birth to that person.
At the True door that person is true, and their coming into the world is true.
No one can question the one who pleases the Master.
Nanak says: praising the True One, that person receives what was written for them.
The One is the holy pool to wash the mind in, and a life given to the Word is true and counts.
This is the eighteenth pauri. Har sar tirath: the One is the pilgrimage place and the pool of washing, found within. Sabad marai, dying in the Word, means the proud self melting away. Dhan janaydee maa-i-aa: blessed is the mother who gave birth to such a person. Praise opens what was written for you.
Where do you go, inside or outside, when you need to feel clear again?
