Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
If you long for every real comfort and joy, then live in what is true.
See the One right beside you, and hold the One Name in your mind.
Become humble as the dust beneath everyone's feet, and you merge into the One.
Cause no one any pain, and you will reach your true home with honor. Nanak says: the One makes the fallen whole again.
Practical ethics — how goodness behaves. Jis sarab sukhaa fal lorhee-ah, so sach kamaava-o — "if you want all comforts, practice truth"; sach kamaava-o is living the real, not just believing it. Then three concrete moves: see the One nerhai, "near," right beside you; become sagal kee raynukaa, "the dust of all feet" (humility so complete it stops competing); and the moral center of the Vaar, dookh na day-ee kisai jee-a — "cause no being pain." That one line is the whole ethic in a sentence. At the close stands the nirvair door: patit puneet — the One is the "purifier of the fallen," making whole again whoever has stumbled. Nobody is written off; the door is open.
What is one way you could make sure your day causes a little less pain and a little more ease for someone?
