ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਹਿ ਆਪੁ ਜਾਇ ॥
gur sabad beechaareh aap jaa-ay.
Contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad, and be rid of your ego.
ਸਾਚ ਜੋਗੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਆਇ ॥੮॥
saach jog man vasai aa-ay. ||8||
True Yoga shall come to dwell in your mind. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Think over the Guru's Word, and your ego will go.
True Yoga will come and live in your mind.
When the puffed-up self steps aside, true union moves in.
When the Guru's Word clears out your ego, true union comes and lives in your mind.
Gur sabad beechaareh aap jaae: reflecting on the Word, the ego (aap) departs. Saach jog man vasai aae: true yoga, true union, comes to dwell in the mind. Union arrives when self-importance leaves.
A Question to Sit With
What good thing has room to show up in you when you stop showing off?
