Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those whose hearts are full of love for the One look beautiful whenever they speak — the love shines right through their words.
Nanak says: the One knows exactly who they are, because the One is the very source of the love that fills them.
Inner love becomes visible. Jio bolan tivai sohann — "however they speak, they look beautiful": when someone is full of love, nothing is performed; the love simply radiates, even through ordinary words. And the loop closes with grace: har aapay jaandaa jin laa-ee preet — the One "who placed the love there" is the same One who recognizes it. The love was never self-generated; it was infused. So the beauty a loving person carries is, in a sense, the One recognizing itself in them.
Can you tell when someone speaks from real love? What is different about how it feels?
