Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Bow to the Guru, again and again, and something opens up. By the Guru's grace you begin to sing about the One who has no end, and as you do, a soft brightness wakes up inside your mind.
It is like wiping a fog from your eyes. Wisdom is the gentle ointment, and the moment it touches you, not-knowing simply fades and you can see.
Bowing to the satgur, the Guru, is where the singing begins. gian anjan is the ointment of wisdom applied to the eye, so that agian, not-knowing, fades away (binaas). pargaas, light waking inside the mind, is a recurring image in Gurbani for understanding that dawns quietly rather than being argued into place.
What helps the fog clear when you finally understand something you had been confused about?
