Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever trusts the Guru, everyone trusts.
Through the Guru's words, the mind grows cool and calm, like hot ground after rain.
Through all four ages, that humble person is known as pure.
Nanak says: such a person, facing the Guru, is rare.
Trusting the Guru makes a person calm and trusted, like hot ground after rain.
Gur maanai maanai sabh ko-ay: the one who trusts the Guru is trusted by everyone. Gur bachnee man seetal ho-ay: through the Guru's words, the mind grows seetal, cool and soothed.
This is the rainy-season picture of Raag Malaar. Think of a hot summer sidewalk when the first rain hits it. The heat lifts, the dust settles, and soon everything turns green again. A heated mind can cool down the same way.
Chahu jug sobhaa nirmal jan so-ay: such a person is honored as pure through all four ages, through all of time. And naanak gurmukh virlaa ko-ay: such a person is virlaa, rare.
What cools you down when your thoughts feel hot and stirred up?
