Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever sets the Guru's lotus feet within the heart
meets the Beloved, and the inner Light shines out.
This one is about keeping the Guru close inside, and finding a light there.
Charan kamal rid antar Dhaaray — whoever holds the lotus feet in the heart. The lotus feet are a picture of deep, humble love for the Guru. To hold them in your heart is to keep the Guru close with respect.
Pargatee jot milay raam pi-aaray — that person meets the Beloved, and the inner light shines out.
The meeting happens inside. It is like a lamp in a room. When you switch it on, the light fills the room from within, not from outside the window.
What do you keep close in your heart that lights you up inside?
