One who becomes Gurmukh examines his own mind, and instructs others.
ਸਚੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਦਾ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਏ ॥
sachai naam sadaa liv laa-ay.
He is lovingly attuned to the True Name forever.
ਜੋ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਸੋਈ ਕਰਸੀ ਜੋ ਸਚੇ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਇਦਾ ॥੯॥
jo tis bhaavai so-ee karsee jo sachay man bhaa-idaa. ||9||
They act in harmony with the Mind of the True Lord. ||9||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
First you look honestly into your own heart, and then you can gently help others look into theirs.
Tuned to the True Name with love, your wishes fall into step with the One's.
Look honestly at your own heart before helping others look at theirs.
Self-examination comes before teaching others; the order matters. Loving attunement leads to alignment with the divine Will.
