ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਪਾਏ ਪਰਮਾਨੰਦੁ ॥੩॥

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who carry the One in their hearts become turned toward the teaching. They receive the gift of devotion, and with it freedom and deep joy. Through the teaching, the highest happiness arrives.
Carry the One in your heart, and devotion, freedom, and deep joy come together.
The Gurmukh is defined here by what dwells in the heart -- the One. Devotion is itself called a blessing, a gift received, not an achievement. Its fruits stack: liberation, bliss, supreme ecstasy.
A Question to Sit With
What does deep joy feel like for you -- and where does it tend to come from?
