Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Only the one who knows the One is called the True Guru, the one who tells the story of the One, Har, Har.
Offer that Guru food, clothes, and silk and satin robes of every kind, and know that the Guru is true. The goodness from this will never leave you short.
The True Guru is someone who knows the One and shares it, and is worth thanking with your whole heart.
Barahm binday so satgur kahee-ai — the one who knows the One is called the True Guru. Har har kathaa sunaavai — and shares the living word.
The verse says to give such a teacher food, clothes and fine silk. Think of it as thanks and care, given with a full heart. It is like the thank-you card and homemade cookies a class gives a favorite teacher at the end of the year.
Tis punn kee fir tot na aavai — the goodness that comes from this will never run short.
Who has shared something true with you that you are grateful for?
