Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Only the heart You yourself draw close actually arrives. So when I see someone who has truly met You, I bow at their feet with all my heart.
Meeting the One is a gift, not a prize you win.
Jis toon mayleh so milai pi-aaray — only the one You bring close is the one who meets You. The meeting the whole song longs for is not won by trying hard. It is drawn near by grace, the One's free kindness.
This does not make the singer sit back and do nothing. It leads to a lovely act. Tis kai laaga-o paa-ay — I bow at the feet of anyone who has met You.
Think of a friend who got a surprise gift. You are happy for them, because their gift shows that gifts are real. In the same way, someone who has met the One is living proof that grace is real. Being humble about the gift turns into honoring the people who received it.
Who is someone you look up to because of the goodness you can see in them?
