Through perfect good destiny, we come to meet the Guru.
ਸਾਚੈ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਾਚਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
saachai sahj saach samaa-ay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The true ones are intuitively absorbed in the True Lord. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It is by perfect good fortune that you meet the teacher at all. And the true ones melt, easily and naturally, into the True One.
Meeting the teacher is good fortune -- and the true ones melt naturally into the True One.
The Rahao: meeting the Guru is perfect destiny, grace and not contrivance. Absorption is sahaj. The whole shabad rests on this. A reflection it invites, though the verse does not say so itself: you cannot manufacture the meeting; you can only become ready.
