Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

How lucky are the hearts that serve the True Guru.

Day and night they rest, lovingly, in the true Naam.

The Giver of peace lives always inside them, and they delight in the true Word.

Serving the Guru is its own good fortune.
The deeper layer

Satgur sayvan say vadbhaagee — those who serve the true Guru are fortunate. Liv laagee — a loving, unbroken attention on the Name. The sukh-daataa (Giver of peace) is ravi-aa ghat antar, present deep within the heart.

A Question to Sit With

Who or what feels like a wise guide in your life?
