Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One brings the seeking heart to the True Guru.
There the true Word makes a person brave, a hero on the inside.
Bringing them close, the One gives them honor and turns their thoughts toward the True One.
The One brings a person to the True Guru, and the true Word makes that person brave.
Aapay satgur maylay pooraa: the Perfect One brings us to the true Guru. Sachai sabad mahaabal sooraa: through the true Word, a person becomes a mighty sooraa, a hero.
Maaroo is the raag of courage, once sung before battle. Here the hero fights inside. The real battle is with one's own mind: its anger, pride and fear. Think of the courage it takes to say sorry first after a fight with a brother or sister. That is hero work.
Then the One gives vadi-aa-ee, honor, and turns the person's thoughts toward the True One.
What is the hardest thing about yourself to be brave with?
