Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The true servant is the one the One brings into service.
That one alone finds the spotless, shining One.
Meeting the Guru, the doors of that one's heart swing wide open,
and they do not travel again the road of being born over and over.
Service comes as a gift, and meeting the Guru opens the doors of the heart.
So sayvak jo laa-i-aa sayv: the servant is the one the One brings into service, drawn by grace. Tin hee paa-ay niranjan dayv: that one finds niranjan, the spotless One. Gur mil taa kay khulhe kapaat: meeting the Guru, their doors swing open. Bahur na aavai jonee baat: they do not walk again the road of birth after birth. The picture is a homecoming: doors open, and the long wandering ends.
What does it feel like when something that was “closed” inside you finally opens up?
