Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My True Guru is forever the Giver. Whatever fruit I wish for, I receive.
Nanak says: through the Naam comes glorious greatness, and through the Guru's Word the True One is found.
The Guru never stops giving, and through the Guru's Word the True One is found.
Satgur mayraa sadaa hai daataa means "my True Guru is forever the Giver." That theme keeps coming back in this raag.
What is the gift? Not money or prizes. Naam is the Name, remembering the One. Sach is the true, the thing that lasts. Gur sabdee sach paa-ay means "through the Guru's Word, the True One is found."
Think of a grandparent who gives you birthday presents. They are nice. But the thing you keep forever is the stories and the love. Through the Name and the Word, what is true becomes clear.
What do you need that no amount of stuff could give you?
