ਬਾਝੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਹੈ ਮੋਹੁ ਗੁਬਾਰਾ ॥
baajh guroo hai moh gubaaraa.
Without the Guru, there is only the darkness of attachment.
ਫਿਰਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਡੁਬੈ ਵਾਰੋ ਵਾਰਾ ॥
fir fir dubai vaaro vaaraa.
Over and over, time and time again, they are drowned.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਭੇਟੇ ਸਚੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਏ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਇਆ ॥੮॥
satgur bhaytay sach drirh-aa-ay sach naam man bhaa-i-aa. ||8||
Meeting the True Guru, Truth is implanted within, and the True Name becomes pleasing to the mind. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Without the Guru, there is only the darkness of clinging, and people sink again and again, time after time.
Meeting the True Guru, Truth is planted inside, and the True Name grows sweet to the heart.
Truth planted within grows, in time, into sweetness.
Without the Guru there is the darkness of moh (attachment); with the Guru, sach is implanted (drirhaa-ay) within and the True Name becomes sweet to the mind. Truth is planted like a seed, then grows into sweetness.
A Question to Sit With
What true thing was planted in you long ago that has grown sweet over time?
