Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Rare are those who receive real understanding from the teacher. Those who do become welcome and accepted. Through the teacher, you settle naturally into the True One, and the gate to freedom opens.
The gate to freedom opens through the teacher, for those given the understanding to see it.
The Gate of Liberation is found through the Guru -- Amar Das's central conviction. Wisdom is received, rare, and makes one acceptable -- accepted not by performance but by the gift of understanding. Contemplation is effortless, sahaj.
