Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Fix your quiet attention on the guide's form and truth. Then here, and everywhere beyond here, you will be met with honor and belonging.
Keep your quiet attention on the Guru, and you carry dignity everywhere.
Gur moorat si-o laa-ay Dhi-aan — fix your attention on the Guru's form. Eehaa oohaa paavahi maan — here and beyond, you will be honored. Maan means honor, dignity, being welcomed.
This is not the kind of status the world hands out, like a trophy or lots of followers. It is the deep dignity of someone who feels at home with the teaching. That dignity stays with you in this life and beyond it.
Where do you feel most honored and at home just for being yourself?
