Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I bow to that Guru, always.
I give myself to that Guru, always.
I wash the True Guru's feet again and again, and drink in that water.
Chanting and remembering Guru Nanak, I live forever.
Bowing to the Guru with your whole heart is how you come alive.
Tis gur ka-o sad karee namaskaar: I bow to that Guru forever. Tis gur ka-o sad jaa-o balihaar: I give myself to that Guru forever. Satgur kay charan dho-ay dho-ay peevaa: washing the True Guru's feet and drinking that water is an old picture of the deepest love and humility, like a child who would do anything for a beloved grandparent.
Gur naanak jap jap sad jeevaa: by remembering Guru Nanak again and again, I live.
Who is a teacher, of anything, you feel deep gratitude toward, and why?
