Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Without the True Guru, no one has found the One. Anyone can try it and see.
By the One's kindness the True Guru is found, and then the One is met easily and naturally.
The person who follows only their own wants is spun around by doubt. Without good fortune, the treasure of the One is not found.
We find the One through the Guru, and when grace brings us there, it feels easy and natural.
Bin satgur kinai na paa-i-o man vaykhhu ko patee-aa-ay: without the True Guru, no one has found the One; anyone can test it and see. Grace, kirpaa, brings us to the Guru. Then meeting the One comes with sahj, natural ease.
Think of learning to float in water. The harder you thrash, the more you sink. When you relax, the water holds you up. The manmukh, the person led by self-will, is spun around by bharam, doubt. Without good fortune, bhaag, that person misses the treasure. Ease, not forcing, is the way.
When has something felt easy the moment you stopped forcing it?
