ਸਿਵ ਨਗਰੀ ਮਹਿ ਆਸਣੁ ਅਉਧੂ ਅਲਖੁ ਅਗੰਮੁ ਅਪਾਰੀ ॥੮॥
siv nagree meh aasan a-oDhoo alakh agamm apaaree. ||8||
The true hermit obtains a seat in the City of God, the invisible, inaccessible, infinite. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The true hermit finds a seat in the City of Wonder --
the One who is unseen, beyond reach, and without limit.
The most wonderful place to sit is a stillness you carry inside you.
Siv nagree — the City of Shiva; here, a City of Wonder, the inner home of awareness; aoudhoo — the true hermit (the Gurmukh). Alakh agamm apaaree — unseen, unreachable, infinite. The hermit's true seat is not a cave but the boundless inner presence.
A Question to Sit With
Where is a place — inside or out — where you feel a sense of wonder?
