Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whatever the teacher gives is good for the mind. Whatever the holy one does, accept it as true.
Trust that whatever the Guru gives is good for you.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Jo gur dee-aa so man kai kaam — whatever the Guru gives is useful to the mind. Sant kaa kee-aa sat kar maan — whatever the sant, the holy one, does, accept it as true.
This is full trust in the Guru. It is the open, receiving heart that lets the Word do its work. It does not weigh and judge the gift first. It simply receives it. Think of a gift from a grandparent. You do not look for the price tag. You take it with open hands.
When has it helped to trust a wise person's guidance even before you understood it?
