Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Only that one is a Pandit, a true scholar, who puts down the heavy bundle of the three moods.
Night and day, they speak the Naam of the One.
They take the True Guru's teaching.
They place their head before the True Guru, giving themselves fully.
They stay untangled always, free and at peace.
Such a Pandit is accepted in the One's Court.
A scholar worth the name sets down the heavy bundle and lives with the Naam day and night.
So pandit jo tihaan gunaa kee pand utaarai: the true scholar is the one who puts down the load of the three moods. The three moods of nature are calm, restless and heavy. Then an-din ayko naam vakhaanai: day and night, that person speaks of the one Naam.
The scholar takes the True Guru's teaching and sees dharay-ay, puts the head before the Guru. That means giving yourself fully, the way a student trusts a great coach. Such a person stays nirbaan, free inside and untangled. Think of a kite with no knots in its string, flying high. That scholar is welcomed at the One's door.
What does it look like to live something you believe, day by day?
