ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਦਰਸਨਿ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਗਤਿ ਹੋਇ ॥
gur kai darsan mukat gat ho-ay.
The Guru's system is the way to liberation.
ਸਾਚਾ ਆਪਿ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਸੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
saachaa aap vasai man so-ay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The True Lord Himself comes to dwell in the mind. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Guru's way is the road to freedom.
Walk it, and the True One Himself comes to live in your mind.
The path to freedom ends with the One moving into the house you already are.
The Pause states the promise simply: gurmat is "the way to liberation," and its fruit is the One "coming to dwell in the mind." Liberation here is not an escape to somewhere else but a guest taking up residence within — the divine moving into the house you already are.
