Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I go and ask the people who've found real closeness how they did it.
Setting down my self-importance, I learn from them, and find that closeness too.
A heart like that is never really widowed — it stays glad, feeling the good ever-present.
The beloved device again: "I go and ask those Saints" who have found the Beloved. Their way is "renouncing ego," and then one meets the Beloved "with intuitive ease" (sahaj). And the reversal of the mourning theme once more: "she shall never become a widow; she shall always be a happy bride," "beholding Him ever-present." The One is here, so the separation is only in forgetting. For a child: the people who've found real closeness will tell you the secret is letting go of self-importance — and then the good feels ever-present.
Who could you 'go and ask' about how to feel close to what's good?
