Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those turned toward the teaching find the One right inside their own hearts. They serve the Life of the World and are remembered through all the ages. They quiet the ego and the Word becomes real in them, and grace pours down on them.
Those turned toward the teaching find the One inside their own hearts -- and grace pours down.
The Gurmukh's discovery is interior -- the Lord in their own hearts (cf. the jewel within). Service and the subduing of ego go together, crowned by grace from the Architect of Destiny -- grace as the source and seal.
