Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
About the beginning, all we can say is: wonder. Then the One rested, without end, deep within its own stillness.
Let freedom from wanting be your earrings, the Guru's wisdom. The True One lives in every heart, the soul of all.
Through the Guru's Word, you merge into the One beyond sight, and with ease you receive the pure essence.
Nanak says: the Sikh who searches and finds the way serves no one else.
Amazing is the flow of existence. Only the One understands it fully, and knows the true way of every living being.
Whoever wipes out self-pride becomes free of wanting. That one alone is a yogi, who keeps the True One deep inside.
About the beginning, the truest thing to say is wonder. Bismaad means awe, not a diagram. Akalpat mudraa: freedom from wanting is the earring that counts. And a jogi is someone who has emptied out self-pride (aap mayt) and keeps the True One inside, not someone in robes; the word yogi is quietly given back its meaning.
When did something fill you with real wonder?
