Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever follows the Guru and works hard at serving is shaped by the Word, like a coin pressed in the true mint.
Hard, quiet service shapes a person in the Word, like a coin pressed in a true mint.
A gurmukh is someone who faces the Guru and follows the Guru's way. Sayvaa ghaal means the hard work of serving others. Some people quietly do that work.
Tis ghaRhee-ai sabad sachee taksaalee — they are shaped in the true mint of the Word. A taksaal is a mint, the place where coins are made. Metal is pressed until the picture comes out clear and sharp. A good coin is true metal all the way through.
In the same way, serving others shapes a person. Day by day, they become clear and true. Their good character is formed by quiet, steady work.
What everyday work quietly shapes who you're becoming?
