Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Meet the true teaching and you become like a magic stone that turns iron to gold. Then you can lift others toward the One.
The one who truly loves the One gains the reward. And by passing it on, they show the truth to others too.
This line says a changed person changes others, just by being near them.
Satgur bhaytay taa paaras hovai — meet the true Guru, and you become paaras. The paaras is a magic stone from old stories. Touch it to iron, and the iron turns to gold. The changed person does not keep the gift to themselves. They pass it on and turn others toward the One.
Loving the One makes more love. What you receive, you become able to give.
And notice how the stone works. It does not give the iron a lecture. It just touches it. Think of a friend who is always kind. You don't need a speech from them. Being around them, you start being kinder too. The reward keeps spreading: finding the One means helping others find the One.
Who has changed you just by who they are, without ever preaching at you?
