Kahore Pandito (Ali Bolo)

کہو رے پنڈتوں! جیو کس گھر جاتا

This Ginan, composed by Pir Sadardin, is a mystical dialogue that explores the soul's journey toward the Divine. It emphasizes that true spiritual realization is an internal experience—likened to a mute person tasting sugar—which cannot be expressed in words. The verses guide the seeker to focus on the remembrance of Ali and the meditation on the Holy Word as the means to cross the "ocean of existence." Ultimately, it delivers the central message that spiritual liberation (Mugat) is only possible through the guidance of the Satguru (True Guide).
