Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Guru's feet became sweet to my mind — the way your favorite song or the smell of home is sweet — something my mind wants to return to.
And going wherever I went, nothing stood in the way, and a deep peace settled over me. It came the moment the Guru's kindness reached me.
The Guru's teaching can turn sweet.
Gur kay charan lagay man meethay — the Guru's feet feel sweet to the mind. The feet stand for the Guru's presence and teaching. This is love, not duty. The teaching stops being a "should." It becomes something the heart leans toward, like a favorite song you play again and again.
Nirbighan means with nothing in the way, and the shabad says this again with confidence. Then sabh sukh paa-ay satgur toothay — all peace came when the true Guru was pleased. The peace comes from grace, when kindness reaches the one who is seeking.
What good thing in your life started as a should and slowly became a want-to?
