Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wisdom wells up from the Guru. It helps us think about what is most real of all.
Through the Guru, we find the One's home and door. The storehouses of devotion are full to overflowing.
This one says wisdom isn't worked out at a desk; it wells up from the Guru.
The "from the Guru" list keeps going. Gur tay gi-aan oopjai — from the Guru, wisdom (gi-aan) wells up. Mahaa tat beechaaraa means thinking about the deepest truth of all. It sounds like the hardest class at a university. But the verse says this truth is not figured out; it is shown.
With the wisdom comes an address: ghar dar, the One's home and door, found rather than built. And there is plenty. Bhagtee bharay bhandaaraa — the storehouses of devotion are full to overflowing. Think of walking into a small hut expecting one bowl of rice, and finding a whole feast.
What is the wisest thing anyone ever showed you — not told you, showed you?
