Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I grind the grain for my teacher's home, happy in the everyday work. And by the grace I found there, something amazing happened — everyone I once saw as an enemy became a friend.
This one says that when the defensive "me" melts, enemies become friends.
Tis gur kai garihi peesa-o neet — "every day I grind grain in that Guru's home." It is the last of the service pictures.
Then comes the reward: jis parsaad vairee sabh meet. It means "by His grace, all my enemies became friends." Vairee is an enemy. Meet is a friend.
This is what happens around us when the ego melts. When the separate, guarded self loosens, the heart is no longer run by grudges.
Think of the classmate you always felt was against you. Once you stop keeping score, you may find you can laugh together.
This is a change that happens inside. It never means putting up with being hurt, or pretending real harm is okay. If someone is being unkind to you or hurting you, that is never something you have to accept. Telling a grown-up you trust is always the right thing to do.
Has someone you once couldn't stand ever surprised you by becoming a friend?
