Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You could study every grammar, read every holy book, recite the longest epic ever told — and still never reach the edge of the One, because it has no edge.
Even the wisest beings in the old stories could not find where the One ends. Freedom comes from keeping the Naam, the living presence of the One, awake inside you. Nanak says: the one who turns toward the Guru comes to know the Naam.
The Gurmukh is one who faces toward the Guru. Nine grammars, the six Shaastras, the Vedas and the Mahaabhaarata are all named, and even Brahma cannot find God's limits. Scholarship maps the finite; the Name is recognition of the infinite. Without the Name (naam bihoon) there is no liberation (mukat).
What is something you can only understand by living it, not by reading about it?
