ਗਉੜੀ ਗੁਆਰੇਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ॥
ga-orhee gu-aarayree mehlaa 4.
Gauree Gwaarayree, Fourth Mehl:
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਸਫਲ ਹੈ ਬਣੀ ॥
satgur sayvaa safal hai banee.
Service to the True Guru is fruitful and rewarding;
ਜਿਤੁ ਮਿਲਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਧਣੀ ॥
jit mil har naam Dhi-aa-i-aa har Dhanee.
meeting Him, I meditate on the Name of the Lord, the Lord Master.
ਜਿਨ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿਆ ਤਿਨ ਪੀਛੈ ਛੂਟੀ ਘਣੀ ॥੧॥
jin har japi-aa tin peechhai chhootee ghanee. ||1||
So many are emancipated along with those who meditate on the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Serving the true teacher bears real fruit. Meeting the teacher, I keep the One's name in mind. And many others are set free right alongside those who do.
Serving the teacher bears fruit -- and frees others right alongside you.
Service of the Guru is fruitful, and -- a recurring Mehl 4 note -- the realized one carries many others to freedom (cf. saving generations). Liberation is contagious and communal.
