Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
We cannot earn this by hard effort, and we cannot buy it by doing enough — it arrives on its own, freely.
The one my Master touches with kindness lives out the Teacher's word.
Grace comes on its own, as a gift.
ghaal na mili-o sayv na mili-o mili-o aa-ay achintaa — not by hard work, not by service; the One came and met me when I was not expecting it. This is the heart of grace: it is not a wage. It is like a friend who shows up at your door with a surprise gift. You did not earn it with chores.
The one who receives this kindness then gureh kamaano manntaa — lives out the Teacher's word. But the living comes after the gift. It does not buy the gift.
Has something wonderful ever come to you exactly when you were not chasing it?
