Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you meet the Guru, you receive a great gift. It is not loud or showy. It is a deep steadiness that lifts sorrow off your heart.
The One comes to live inside you. Colored through and through by that presence, you find a peace that does not run out.
Meeting the Guru brings a great gift: a calm that lifts sorrow.
Satgur mili-ai vadee vadi-aa-ee — meeting the True Guru brings great greatness. It is not loud or showy. It is a deep steadiness. Dukh kaatai hirdai naam vasaa-ee — pain is cut away as the Name comes to live in the heart. Think of a warm blanket on a cold night. The cold is still outside, but you are held.
Naam ratay sadaa sukh paa-ee — dyed in the Name, you find peace that lasts. Ratay means colored all the way through, like cloth soaked in dye.
Who in your life brings a calm that makes hard things feel lighter?
