Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I turn away from the One and pour myself into things that cannot fill me, I end up in a dark, stuck place — like the bottom of a deep pit.
But the longing to see the One pulled at my heart, and that longing lifted me right up out of the darkness into the light. I did not climb out alone; I was reached for.
bikhi-aa kay khooh is the well, or pit, of corruption: the trapped feeling of chasing what cannot satisfy. narak is best heard as the darkest, most stuck state a heart can fall into — and then comes the rescue, kaadhee... dhooh, lifted out. What does the lifting is daras pi-aas, the thirst to see the One. Even our longing is grace at work.
When you have felt stuck in a low place, what was it that finally reached in and lifted you?
