The Guru-oriented person discovers its essence.

Blossoming from a place of deep listening

Through deep listening, our mind comes to dwell in the ocean of virtue.

Through deep listening, we gain the wisdom and majesty of sover eigns and saints.

Through deep listening, we emerge from the darkness and the path becomes visible.

Through deep listening, what was once unfathomable comes within our reach.

Says Nanak, the enlightened ones are ever-fresh and ever-blossoming;

Through deep listening, the pains of suffering and wrongdoing are dispelled.

– Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Sri Guru Granth Sahib, ang 3

Having travelled across new lands,
I have come here to do business,

For I had heard of an incomparable Merchandise
Which brings true profit.

I arrive here with a precious bundle – 
the wealth of spiritual virtue
Which is my business capital.

Beholding this fascinating jewel,
My mind is in awe.
