Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

By great good fortune, you meet the true teacher. Then the Name lives in your heart all the time, and you enjoy the One's sweetness.

Good fortune brings you to the teacher; then the Name lives in you and tastes sweet.
The deeper layer

Meeting the Guru is great fortune (grace). The fruit: the Name constant in the heart and the enjoyment of the essence (Har Ras). Destiny opens the door; the Name is the dwelling.

A Question to Sit With

What is a piece of good fortune you are grateful for?
