Introduction to a Friend

ਸਲੋਕ ॥
ਦਰਸਨ ਪਿਆਸੀ ਦਿਨਸੁ ਰਾਤਿ ਚਿਤਵਉ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨੀਤ ॥
ਖੋਲ੍‍ ਿਕਪਟ ਗੁਰਿ ਮੇਲੀਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਸੰਗਿ ਮੀਤ ॥1॥

I am in a constant search for a realization of Truth.
The Guru has burst open the door and led me the find my "Friend" - the True Truth!
(Nanak V - in Raga Jaitasri)


Indeed darsan (ਦਰਸਨ) is not merely a vision through the eyes. Darsan is more of a realization within. This salok is a prelude to a powerful chant (ਛੰਤ) on the subject of Friend. Pg. 703 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib
