Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Gurmukh remembers the Name, and understanding grows.
The Gurmukh's whole life is love and praise. The endless Word lives inside.
This one says the Gurmukh doesn't just do devotion; the Gurmukh is devotion.
Now the hymn turns from the Source to the person. What does a life facing the Guru look like from inside? Gurmukh naam Dhi-aa-ee-ai boojhai veechaaraa — the Gurmukh remembers the Name and comes to understand.
Praise is not a task on a schedule. Gurmukh bhagat salaah hai — the Gurmukh is devotion and praise. It is like a lamp. A lamp doesn't "do" light; it just shines.
And inside lives sabad apaaraa, the endless Word, a Word with no shore. A small heart holds a Word with no end. The small container doesn't shrink the Word. The Word quietly makes the heart bigger.
What is the difference between doing kind things and being a kind person?
