Akath katha in English


Recommended Posts

Just came across the following pangtis relevant to the above video.

Ang 945

"When this heart and body did not exist, where did the mind reside?

jaa ih hirdaa dayh na hotee ta-o man kaithai rahtaa.    

When there was no support of the navel lotus, then in which home did the breath reside?

naabh kamal asthambh na hoto taa pavan kavan ghar sahtaa.    

When there was no form or shape, then how could anyone lovingly focus on the Shabad?

roop na hoto raykh na kaa-ee taa sabad kahaa liv laa-ee.    

When there was no dungeon formed from egg and sperm, who could measure the Lord`s value and extent?

rakat bind kee marhee na hotee mit keemat nahee paa-ee.    

When color, dress and form could not be seen, how could the True Lord be known?"

varan bhaykh asroop na jaapee ki-o kar jaapas saachaa.    

 

O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are detached. Then and now, they see the Truest of the True.

naanak naam ratay bairaagee ib tab saacho saachaa.

When the heart and the body did not exist, O hermit, then the mind resided in the absolute, detached Lord.

hirdaa dayh na hotee a-oDhoo ta-o man sunn rahai bairaagee.    

When there was no support of the lotus of the navel, the breath remained in its own home, attuned to the Lord`s Love.

naabh kamal asthambh na hoto taa nij ghar basta-o pavan anraagee.    

When there was no form or shape or social class, then the Shabad, in its essence, resided in the unmanifest Lord.

roop na raykh-i-aa jaat na hotee ta-o akuleen rahta-o sabad so saar.

When the world and the sky did not even exist, the Light of the Formless Lord filled the three worlds.

ga-un gagan jab tabeh na hota-o taribhavan jot aapay nirankaar.

Ang 946

Color, dress and form were contained in the One Lord; the Shabad was contained in the One, Wondrous Lord.

varan bhaykh asroop so ayko ayko sabad vidaanee.    

Without the True Name, no one can become pure; O Nanak, this is the Unspoken Speech.

saach binaa soochaa ko naahee naanak akath kahaanee.
