They are robed with honor in the Court of the Lord, and emancipated by the True Guru.
ਹਉਮੈ ਬੰਧਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਤੋੜੇ ਚਿਤੁ ਚੰਚਲੁ ਚਲਣਿ ਨ ਦੀਨਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੬॥
ha-umai banDhan satgur torhay chit chanchal chalan na deenaa hay. ||16||
The True Guru breaks the bonds of egotism, and restrains the fickle consciousness. ||16||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who wait lovingly at the One's door find their sorrows quietly lifting away.
They are wrapped in honour before the One and set gently free.
The True Guru loosens the tight grip of ego and steadies a restless, wandering mind into calm.
Waiting lovingly at the One's door lets sorrow quietly lift.
Service at the One's door takes away darad, pain. The True Guru breaks the bandhan, the bonds, of ha-umai, ego, and steadies the chanchal, fickle, mind — ego loosened and healed.
