Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Guru's Word lives inside everyone.
The One hears it, and the One speaks it.
All who remember it are carried across. They find a home that never moves.
The Guru's words live inside everything.
Gur kee banee means the Guru's Word, the sacred songs. The verse says they are sabh maahi samaanee, soaked into everything, not just written on a page.
Then a surprising line: the One both speaks the words and hears them. Speaker and listener are one.
Think of singing in the shower. You are the one singing, and you are also the one listening. The song goes out and comes right back to you.
Everyone who held these words with love was nistaray, carried safely across, like a boat carrying people over a wide river. They found nihchal thaanaaN, a home that cannot be shaken. That home is not a building. It is a steady heart.
Where do you sense meaning living in the world itself, not just in books?
