Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
They see pain and pleasure as the same, and the good and the bad of the world too.
Wisdom, understanding and awareness are found in the Naam of the One. In the Sangat, they hold on to love for the Guru.
A steady heart can meet both good days and hard ones.
A steady heart meets good days and hard days the same way.
Dukh sukh do-oo sam kar jaanai: seeing pain and pleasure as equal, the way a tall tree stands through both sun and storm. SuDh buDh surat: clarity, understanding and awareness grow from the Naam. They deepen in the sat sangat, the Sangat, people gathered together to remember the One, where love for the Guru is shared.
