Meeting the Saintly True Guru, I have found peace and tranquility. Sins and painful mistakes are totally erased and taken away.
ਆਤਮ ਜੋਤਿ ਭਈ ਪਰਫੂਲਿਤ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਹਜੂਰਿ ॥੧॥
aatam jot bha-ee parfoolit purakh niranjan daykhi-aa hajoor. ||1||
The Divine Light of the soul radiates forth, gazing upon the Presence of the Immaculate Lord God. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Meeting the Guru, I found a deep calm, and the weight of old mistakes and hurts simply lifted away.
The light of my soul opened like a flower, seeing the pure One standing right here, present.
The peace the Guru brings lifts old hurts away.
Meeting the Guru brings deep calm, and old hurts lift away.
Kilvikh dukh means mistakes and pains. The verse says they are all taken away. The feeling is release, not guilt. Think of setting down a heavy backpack after a long hike. Your shoulders feel light again.
Aatam jot bhaee parfoolit means the soul's light opens like a flower. Hajoor means in the Presence, right here. The One is near, not far away.
A Question to Sit With
