Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One's form is one, and the One's Name is True.

There, true justice is done.

Those who live in Truth are honored and welcomed.

They are given honor at the True One's court.

Truthful living, where your outside matches your inside, is what is treasured.
The deeper layer

The One has one form and a True Name, and a life lived in Truth is honored.

Ekaa moorat saachaa naao — one Form, one True Name. Saachee karnee pat parvaan: truthful living (sach) is honored. Here judgment is simply reality itself — what is real is seen for what it is.

A Question to Sit With

Where do the way you act and the way you feel inside line up?
