Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Guru is perfect, and perfect is the Guru's power.
The Guru's word stays steady, forever and ever.
When the Guru's words fill someone's mind, all their aches and sorrows run away.
The Guru's word never changes, and it chases pain away.
gur pooraa pooree taa kee kalaa — the Guru is perfect, and so is the Guru's power. gur kaa sabad sadaa sad atlaa — the Guru's Word never changes, forever and ever.
Think of a ship's anchor. Waves toss the boat around, but the anchor holds it steady. The Guru's Word is that anchor for the mind.
gur kee banee jis man vasai — when the Guru's banee, the Guru's sacred words, fill someone's mind, dookh darad sabh taa kaa nasai — all their pain and hurt runs away.
What is something true you have learned that has not changed no matter what?
