Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who face the Guru and remember the Name find no more blocks in their path.
Those who please the True Guru are honored by all.
Those who serve their dear True Guru find peace that lasts.
O Nanak, those who meet the True Guru — the One Himself meets them.
This one says: turn toward the Guru, and the One turns toward you.
"Tinaa fir bighan na ho-ee" — for the Gurmukh (a person who faces the Guru) who remembers the Name, obstacles, bighan, no longer come.
That does not mean life has no bumps. It means a heart lined up with the One stops making its own worst obstacles, the ones pride and fear create. Think of the rocks you trip on when you run with your eyes shut. Open your eyes, and most of them are easy to step around.
Those who please the Guru are honored by all. Those who serve the Beloved Guru find peace that lasts.
Then the quiet high point: those who meet the True Guru are met by the One Himself. Think of spotting a friend across a field and taking one step toward them. They come running the rest of the way. The meeting goes both ways. Your one step is met by the One coming to you with everything.
Have you noticed that when you turn toward something wholeheartedly, things start to open up?
