Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Freedom comes through serving the True Guru — ask anyone who has walked deep into wisdom or stillness, and they will tell you the same.
Whoever serves the True Guru is lifted up and welcomed in the truest place of all.
Freedom comes through serving the Guru, and anyone wise will tell you so.
Bin satgur sayvay mukat na ho-ee — without serving the True Guru, no one becomes free. Gi-aanee dhi-aanee poochhahu ko-ee — go and ask anyone wise, or anyone who meditates deeply. A gi-aanee is a person of wisdom. A dhi-aanee is a person of deep stillness.
Think of asking every great coach how to get good at a sport. They all say the same thing: find a good teacher, and follow what they show you.
Dar sachai sobhaa paa-idaa — the one who serves the True Guru is honored at the True Court. Dar sachai means the home of the True One. There, that person is welcomed.
Whose steadiness do you trust enough to ask for directions?
