Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who becomes dear to the True One is blessed with greatness.
What could anyone else teach such a heart?
The One and the Guru shine as a single light; Nanak says, the One loves the Guru.
The One and the Guru shine as a single light.
Vadee-aa-ay is greatness, given by the One. The One and the Guru shine as a single light (aykaa), so close that the One is said to love the Guru.
A Question to Sit With
Who has been like a light that pointed you toward something greater?
