Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So ask the Guru, and think over the Guru's wisdom.
Then you will fall in love with the True One.
Let go of yourself, and become a loving servant.
Then the Life of the World comes to live in your mind.
Ask, think it over, let go, and serve: that path brings the Life of the World to live inside you.
Gur poochhahu — ask the Guru, the teacher. Karahu beechaar — then think it through for yourself. Do that, and love for the True One starts to grow.
Next comes aap chhod — set down your self-importance. Become daasat bhaa-ay, a heart that is glad to help.
Then something amazing happens: ta-o jagjeevan vasai man aa-ay. The Life of the whole world comes to live inside you. Think of getting ready for a very special guest. You clear the clutter off the table so there is room. Letting go of self-importance is clearing the table. It makes room for the greatest Guest of all.
What good thing might have more room to grow in you if you set down showing off?
