Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak tells what happens at the Door of the One.
The humble devotees are forever in bliss.
Singing the praises of the One, they blossom.
Hate burns, but praise makes you bloom.
Parmaysar kai du-aarai je ho-ay — Nanak tells us what happens at the door of the One.
Bhagat janaa ka-o sadaa anand hai — the humble lovers of the One are always joyful. Har keertan gaa-ay bigsaavai — singing keertan, songs of the One's praise, they bloom like flowers.
The shabad puts two ways of living side by side. The slanderer shrinks inside a fire of his own making. The one who praises opens up like a flower in the sun. We slowly become like the things we do every day.
What is the difference in how you feel after criticizing someone versus after appreciating something?
