Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who turn toward the Guru and serve are lifted free; by great good fortune, they get to serve at all.
Whoever holds the One in mind gathers real fruit, and the tangles of the world's pull come loose and fall away from them.
The opposite of the circling ox is a person set free.
A gurmukh is someone who turns toward the Guru. Those who serve are udhray, lifted free. The verse calls them vadbhaagee, people of great good fortune. Getting to serve at all is itself the lucky part.
Whoever holds the One in mind gathers real fruit. And the maa-i-aa fanday, the knots of the world's pull, come loose on their own. It is like a tangled necklace that loosens once you stop yanking at it.
How does helping others, oddly enough, often free you from your own worries?
