Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
They sit there, in the quiet cave of deep stillness, *Samaadhi*.
The one perfect God lives there.
There God talks with those who love.
There is no pleasure or pain there, no birth or death.
Deep inside is a quiet room where nothing outside can shake you.
Sunn samaadh gufaa — the cave of sunn, deep silent stillness. Gosat: a close, friendly conversation between the One and those who love. Tah harakh na sog na janam na marat: no seesaw of joy and grief, no birth or death — the unshakable ground of sahaj, natural ease. This cave is a steadiness inside, found in the middle of ordinary life.
A Question to Sit With
Where is the quietest, steadiest place you can find inside yourself?
