Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
For the One's sake, Brahma spoke the Vedas, and Shiva let go of Maya, the pull of the world.
For the One's sake, the Siddhas, wise yogis, left home to wander alone. Even the gods have not found the One's secret.
Great seekers of every kind have searched for the One, and the mystery is still deeper.
Jai kaaran means "for whose sake." For the One's sake, Brahma spoke the Vedas, the old holy books of India. For the One's sake, Shiva let go of maa-i-aa, the pull of money and things. For the One's sake, the Siddhas, wise yogis, left home to wander.
Guru Nanak names them warmly, as fellow seekers. The search for the One runs through every tradition.
And still, dayvee maram na paa-i-aa: "even the gods have not found the secret." Think of the ocean. Divers have gone deep for hundreds of years, and nobody has seen all of it. There is always more to discover.
What is something so vast that even the wisest people are still discovering it?
