Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When your turn comes, climb aboard the boat. Those who miss it are left to answer for it. Blessed is the doorway where the One's praises are sung together. And the one Maker fills every home and every hearth, right where you live.
The boat is the chance to cross the world-ocean -- and "your turn" implies the offer is timed, not infinite. The Guru's Gate -- the place of kirtan -- is blessed because there the praises are sung in Sangat. The closing seal is pure Ik Onkar lived as grihast: the One Creator pervades hearth and home, not off in a temple but here, in ordinary domestic life.
How might it change an ordinary day to remember the One is right there in your home?
