When the Heart Opens Like a Flower, an Unplayed Music Sounds
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I taste the sweetness of the One, my whole life feels worth it.
The heart opens like a flower, and a silent music I never had to play begins to sound inside me.
Body, mind, and words all grow clear and clean, and I settle into what is most real.
This one says: when the heart opens like a flower, a music you never played begins to sound. Serving the Guru and coming to know the Name, a life becomes worth living. Tasting har ras, the sweetness of the One, the mind is full and content.
Kamal pargaas — the lotus of the heart opens. This is vigaas, the heart's inner blossoming. Think of a flower opening in the morning sun. Then comes anhad sabad, the "unstruck" music. It is music that plays by itself inside you, with no instrument and no one plucking a string.
Now notice how the clearness spreads outward. Tan man nirmal nirmal banee — body and mind grow clean and clear, and then the words you speak do too. At last the person merges into sach, Truth, the most real thing there is.
What makes you feel clear and clean all the way through — in body, mind, and words?
