Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Tied up in busy worldly affairs, the blind one cannot see; he acts as cruelly as a butcher.
But if he meets the True Guru, then he sees and understands, and true wisdom fills his mind.
Tied up in busy affairs, a person can stop seeing and act cruelly, and meeting the Guru brings understanding.
Baadhee dhandh andh nahee soojhai: bound up in worldly business, the blind one cannot see. Badhik karam kamaavai: he acts like a butcher, hurting others. Satgur milai ta soojhas boojhas: meeting the True Guru, he sees and understands. Hope is offered even to the harshest figure.
If someone is being unkind to you or hurting you, that is never something you have to accept. Telling a grown-up you trust is always the right thing to do.
Have you seen someone change completely once they finally understood something?
