Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All on its own, that guidance filled me with love — I didn't have to earn it. So again and again, always and forever, I bow my head in thanks.
This one says the best love is the kind you never had to earn.
Aapay laa-i-o apnaa pi-aar — "He Himself filled me with His love." Pi-aar is love. It arrives as grace, as a gift from the Guru's side. Nobody earned it.
The answer to that gift is namaskaar, the bow. Sadaa sadaa means "forever and ever."
Think of a parent's hug on a hard day. You didn't do anything to earn it. You just say thank you. The bow is thanks, not payment. Grace is received, never bought.
When has love come to you freely, before you'd done anything to deserve it?
