Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Like the earth made beautiful, sparkling with dew on the grass like jewels — such is the heart where love for the One has come to live.
Nanak says: every task falls into place with ease, when the Guru, the True Guru, is pleased and smiling.
A single glowing image. Dharan suvannee kharh ratan jarhaavee — "the earth, beautiful, its grass set with jewels" (dew catching light like gems). That is what a heart looks like from the inside when har praym pura-kh man vuthaa, "the love of the One has settled in it." Love makes ordinary things gleam. And from that inner spring comes outer ease: sabhay kaaj suhaylrhay thee-ay — "all affairs become easy, smooth" — sat-gur tuthaa, when the True Guru is "pleased." Not that problems vanish, but that a heart lit up from within meets its tasks differently — dew-jeweled instead of dust-gray.
When you're happy inside, do ordinary things look different to you? What looks brightest when you feel good?
