Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By the Divine Guru's grace, you stay free of clinging, always. By the Divine Guru's grace, you give up speaking badly of others.
By the Divine Guru's grace, good and bad look the same to you. By the Divine Guru's grace, a good destiny is written on your forehead.
The Guru's light makes you calm, steady, and kind in how you speak of others.
Ja-o gurday-o sadaa bairaagee — when the Divine Guru comes, you become bairaagee, at ease and not clinging to things. Par nindaa ti-aagee — you give up par nindaa, talking badly about others behind their backs.
Buraa bhalaa ayk — good times and hard times are met with the same steady heart. This is sahaj, the easy calm that doesn't need to be forced. Lilaateh laykh — a bright destiny is written on your forehead.
One of the clearest signs of grace inside is that you stop putting other people down. Think of a friend who never gossips. Everyone feels safe around them.
Why do you think people put others down — and what would it take to stop?
