Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Stay steady inside; don't let yourself be shaken — let the teacher's words be your firm support.
Then a bright welcome greets you everywhere, and your face shines with a quiet, honest light.
Standing steady on the teacher's words makes a person shine.
Asthir rahhu dolahu mat kabhoo gur kai bachan aDhaar — stay steady and never waver; let the teacher's word be your support. Bachan means word. Think of a tree with deep roots. The wind blows hard, but the tree stays standing.
The reward is jai jai kaar, a glad welcome everywhere. The face becomes oojal, bright and clear. Steadiness like that is something other people can feel.
What helps you stay steady inside when things around you feel shaky?
