As Gurmukh, you shall be awarded the treasure of the Naam. In the Court of the Lord, you shall be saved. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Settle your attention at the teacher's feet. Turned toward the teaching, you are given the treasure of the Name, and at the One's door, you are saved.
Bow at the teacher's feet, receive the Name, and you are saved.
The Rahao: humility (the Guru's Feet) is the posture; the Name is the treasure awarded (grace); salvation is in the Court. The remedy to the death-bound world is to bow and receive.
A Question to Sit With
What does it feel like to humbly learn from someone, rather than prove yourself?
