ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਿਉ ਰੰਗੁ ਲਾਇ ॥
gur kee banee si-o rang laa-ay.
Embrace love for the Word of the Guru's Bani.
ਗੁਰੁ ਕਿਰਪਾਲੁ ਹੋਇ ਦੁਖੁ ਜਾਇ ॥੨॥
gur kirpaal ho-ay dukh jaa-ay. ||2||
When the Guru shows His Mercy, pain is destroyed. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Embrace love for the Word of the Guru.
When the Guru shows His Mercy, pain is destroyed.
Love the Word, and when mercy comes, the pain is destroyed.
Two movements: the soul's part — "embrace love for the Word of the Guru's Bani" — and the Guru's part — "when the Guru is pleased, He bestows it," and "pain is destroyed." Love the Word; receive the mercy; the pain ends. Effort and grace together.
