Relization

The Yogis Question

Kui mul pachhanai atam janai

How is one to know the primal Being?
How can he realize his self?
How is the sun to enter
The house of the moon?

Nanak Answers

Gurmukh haumai vichoh khovai

When by the grace of his master,
One rids himself of his ego,
Then, O Nanak,
He attains to the state of sahaj.

Eh man nihchal hirdai vasiale
When the mind becomes motionless,

Then, through the master
The primal Being is known.
The breath resides in the navel region;

By the master’s help
One realizes this truth.
The Word abides within,
In its won home;

Through the Word
The light of the three worlds is seen.

The longing for the true Lord
Rids one of one’s anguish,
And one remain satiated
With the love of the true Lord.

The unstruck melody is known
Only through the master;
It is only a rare one
Who knows it true meaning.

Nanak says and speaks
Noth but the truth:
He who is dyed in the true One
Never loses his color.
