ਜਿਸ ਕਉ ਰਿਦੈ ਵਿਗਾਸੁ ਹੈ ਭਾਉ ਦੂਜਾ ਨਾਹੀ ॥
jis ka-o ridai vigaas hai bhaa-o doojaa naahee.
One whose heart blossoms forth, is not in love with duality.
ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸੁ ਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਿ ਉਧਰੈ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਾਹੀ ॥੪॥੮॥੧੪॥੫੨॥
naanak tis gur mil uDhrai har gun gaavaahee. ||4||8||14||52||
O Nanak, meeting the Guru, one is saved, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||4||8||14||52||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one whose heart has blossomed is no longer in love with division. Meeting the teacher, they are saved, singing the One's praises.
A blossomed heart leaves division behind and overflows in song.
The close: the blossomed heart has left duality behind. Salvation is meeting the Guru and singing -- the natural overflow of a heart that has opened. The whole shabad moves from longing to meeting to the blossoming that ends division.
