Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Some things you just cannot explain in words, like sweetness. Imagine someone who cannot speak tasting candy: they cannot tell you, they can only smile.
That is how it is with this joy. I cannot hand it to you in a sentence; you taste it yourself. And meanwhile I am happy to walk with the flow of life.
When a real teacher opens it up for you, you understand from the inside. No clever shortcut gets you there, only tasting does.
jin chaakhiaa say-ee saad jaanan — only the taster knows the taste; ji-o gungay mithiaa-ee — like the mute with sweets, the classic image of something too sweet for words. chaalao sadaa rajaa-ee — I move ever within His Will, the flow of existence. gur daataa maylay taa mat hovai — understanding comes through the Guru, not cleverness (chaturaa-ee). Experience over explanation.
What is something you can only understand by experiencing it, not by being told?
