Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My endless coming and going has stopped, and the darkness is gone.
The Guru has shown me the door to freedom.
My mind and body are soaked forever in loving devotion to the One.
Now I know the One, because the One let me know.
The door to freedom is close by, and the Guru shows where it is.
Chookaa ga-on means the coming and going, the endless going in circles, has stopped. Miti-aa anDhi-aar means the darkness is gone.
Gur dikhlaa-i-aa mukat du-aar means the Guru showed me the door to freedom. It was never far away. Think of being stuck in a dark room, feeling the walls. Then someone switches on the light, and the door was right beside you.
Now, man tan sad raataa: mind and body are always soaked in love for the One.
And the last line holds a quiet surprise: parabhoo janaa-i-aa tab hee jaataa. I knew the One only when the One let me know. Even knowing the One is a gift from the One.
Has a door to something good ever been closer than you realized?
