Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Put the Guru's word into practice. Doing it is what carries you forward.
Turn the true Word over in your heart, and you arrive at a deep, easy calm, a kind of home inside yourself. Through the True Name, greatness comes to you.
Doing the good you are shown carries you forward.
Gur kahi-aa saa kaar kamaavahu — do the work the Guru tells you to do. Not just nodding, but actually doing it. Think of a coach showing you a better way to kick a ball. It only helps once you practice it.
Sabad cheeneh sahj ghar aavhu — thinking deeply on the Shabad, the Guru's Word, you come home to sahj. Sahj means natural ease, a calm place inside. Saachai naa-ay vadaa-ee paavhu — through the True Name, you receive real greatness.
What is some good advice you have been given that you could act on today?
