mann-ney kee gat,
ke-hee na jaa-e.
The spiritual state of the faithful devotee who obeys the Guru’s Wisdom,
cannot be described.
This entire verse (pauree) is in the past
tense, referring to those who have obeyed the Guru’s Wisdom and achieved the
ultimate spiritual goal.

pishh-ai p-shhu-taa-e.
If one tries to describe it, one shall end up regretting the attempt.
kaa-gad, kalam na likhaN-haar.
Although there is no paper, pen nor writer that can describe the inner
spiritual state of such beautiful souls,
mann-ney kaa,
beh karan vee-chaar.
one can only sit with others to reflect on the lives of the faithful
devotee who obeys the Guru’s Wisdom.
Teaching, narrating and learning from Sikh history
serves this purpose. We can never understand the spiritual inner-state of the
amazing personalities of Sikh history like Baba Deep Singh Ji, Bhai Taru Singh
Ji and the endless list of other blessed Sikhs. However, reflecting on their lives
inspires and motivates the listener to progress in their own individual
spiritual journey.
