Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So why go on talking such nonsense?
The one who's actually found the One doesn't make a big noise about it — they go quiet.
The refrain (the rahaao, the shabad's hinge) delivers the punchline: the person who has really found the One "keeps quiet about it." This is a deep and slightly mischievous truth. The loudest debaters about the divine — near or far, this doctrine or that — are often the ones who haven't tasted it; genuine realization tends to make a person humble and quiet, not argumentative. When you actually know something in your bones, you don't need to win the argument. Naam Dayv gently sorts the noisy from the knowing.
Have you noticed that people who truly understand something rarely need to show off about it? Why is that?
