Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Gurbani — the Guru's Word — is the jewel, the treasure of devotion.
Singing it, hearing it, living it, the soul is carried away in joy.
The Guru's Word is a jewel, and it is meant to be lived.
Gurbani is the Word of the Gurus, the hymns of the Guru Granth Sahib. Bhagat bhandaar gurbaanee laal — Gurbani is a jewel, a treasure-house of devotion, of loving the One.
Now look at the three doing-words: gaavat sunat kamaavat — singing it, hearing it, living it. The Word is not only for reading. It is for living. Think of a song you love so much that you hum it all day. Living the Word is what fills the soul with joy — nihaal, overflowing with delight.
What truth in your life is one you don't just know, but actually live by?
