ਗੁਰੁ ਪਰਮੇਸਰੁ ਭੇਟਿ ਨਿਹਾਲ ॥
gur parmaysar bhayt nihaal.
I am enraptured, meeting with the Guru, the Transcendent Lord.
ਸੋ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਪਾਏ ਜਿਸੁ ਹੋਇ ਦਇਆਲੁ ॥
so darsan paa-ay jis ho-ay da-i-aal.
He alone obtains the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, who is blessed by His Mercy.
ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਜਿਸੁ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰੈ ॥
paarbarahm jis kirpaa karai.
One who is blessed by the Grace of the Supreme Lord God,
ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਸੋ ਭਵਜਲੁ ਤਰੈ ॥੩॥
saaDhsang so bhavjal tarai. ||3||
crosses over the terrifying world-ocean in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Meeting the Guru, one with the Supreme, fills me with joy.
The blessed sight of the One comes to whoever the One is kind to.
Whoever the Supreme One blesses with grace
crosses the frightening ocean of the world in the Sangat.
The blessed sight of the One is a gift that opens in you, not a prize you seize.
Darsan is the blessed seeing: being met, more than looking. It comes to the one the One is kind to (jis ho-ay da-i-aal), as a gift. The crossing of the bhavjal (the world-ocean) is then made in the Sangat, together.
A Question to Sit With
