ਮਹਾ ਉਦਿਆਨ ਅਟਵੀ ਤੇ ਕਾਢੇ ਮਾਰਗੁ ਸੰਤ ਕਹਿਓ ॥
mahaa udi-aan atvee tay kaadhay maarag sant kahi-o.
The Saint has pulled me out of the utterly desolate wilderness, and shown me the path.
ਦੇਖਤ ਦਰਸੁ ਪਾਪ ਸਭਿ ਨਾਸੇ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਰਤਨੁ ਲਹਿਓ ॥੨॥੧੦੦॥੧੨੩॥
daykhat daras paap sabh naasay har naanak ratan lahi-o. ||2||100||123||
Gazing upon His Darshan, all sins are taken away; Nanak is blessed with the jewel of the Lord. ||2||100||123||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I was lost in a wide, empty wilderness, and the saint pulled me out and showed me the path home.
Nanak says: the moment I saw the One, the old dust of my mistakes washed away — and I found the jewel of the One.
The jewel is uncovered the moment you turn toward it.
The saint led the singer out of a wilderness (udi-aan) and showed the path; one look toward the One washed off the old dust, and a jewel (ratan) was found. The jewel is near, uncovered the moment you turn.
A Question to Sit With
Who has helped show you the way when you felt lost?
