Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sing the praises of the One, learn about it, serve with a willing heart, and keep the Name in mind.
Then you will feel welcome and at home, no longer tossed around, and you will blend into the light of the One.
Sing, learn, and serve, and you come home to the light.
Gun kaho har lahu kar sayvaa satgur — sing the One's praises, learn about the One, and serve the Satguru, the True Guru. These are three simple actions, joined like three strands of one rope.
The promise is warm. Har dargeh bhaaveh — you become pleasing in the One's court. Dargeh means court, the place of the One's presence. Then comes jot samaa-ee, merging into the light.
The line about not coming back into birth again means being set free. You are no longer tossed from one restless thing to the next. You belong.
Which comes most easily to you — singing, learning, or helping? Which is hardest?
