Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Light shines out, and proud ego is gone.
The True Guru gives the Naam, sweet as nectar.
When pride melts, the Light inside shines out.
Pargatee jot chookaa abhimaan: the Light becomes manifest, and abhimaan, prideful ego, is dispelled. The light only has to be unblocked; when pride quiets, what was always there shines through. Then satgur dee-aa amrit naam, the true Guru bestows the nectar of the Naam. Grace is like this: always present, received the moment we stop blocking it. Haumai, the sense of a separate, self-important self, is what dims the light; its melting lets the light out.
Have you noticed how hard it is to learn something new when you already think you know it all?
