Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Clear and steady is the mind, and warm is the good name, of those whose minds hold the word of the Perfect Guru.
Nanak says: those who come to know their own One are the fortunate ones — rich in the way that counts.
A clear mind and a good name belong to those who hold the Guru's word.
Mat pooree pardhaan — perfect intellect and distinguished standing belong to those gur pooray man mant, whose minds hold the Perfect Guru's word. Jih jaani-o prabh aapunaa... bhagvant — those who know their own One are fortunate and blessed. A clear, steady mind and a good name are the marks of one who takes the Guru's word in. The second "Mamma" Pauri follows, on the one who knows the mystery.
What does it mean to "know" something not just in your head, but in a way that steadies your whole self?
