Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kindness poured over me, and I came home washed clean inside, full of calm and gladness.
The greatness of the teacher is real, past any price I could name. Meeting that presence, my heart lifts with joy.
Some good things are too large to put a price on -- you can only be glad in them.
The Rahau line: anad sookh kaliaan mangal -- bliss, peace, wellbeing, joy, all at once, after an inner isnaan (cleansing). Taa kee keemat kahan na jaa-ee -- its worth cannot be spoken; man omaahaa -- the heart wells up.
A Question to Sit With
When has a moment of gladness felt too big to describe?
