Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says: when you fall in love with the True One, the mind's swagger and self-importance simply drain away.
Everyone who speaks it, listens to it, and lives by it finds peace — and those who take it to heart come into the greatest treasure of all.
Loving the True One melts pride and opens the greatest treasure.
Kahat naanak sachay si-o preet laa-ay chookai man abhimaanaa means Nanak says: fall in love with the True One, and the mind's abhimaan, its self-importance, is gone.
Kahat sunat sabhay sukh paavahi means those who speak the Name and listen to it all find peace. Maanat paahi nidhaanaa means those who take it to heart receive the treasure.
These are three steps: speaking, listening, and living by it. Japji Sahib calls them praise, suniai (deep listening), and mannai (taking the Word to heart). Think of learning a song. You sing it, you listen to it, and one day it just lives in you. Together these three melt pride away and open the treasure.
What is something you love so much that showing off about it never even crosses your mind?
