Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In this world, living by the Word is the finest work there is.
Without the Word, everything else is the darkness of clinging.
Through the Word, the Naam is kept close in the heart.
Through the Word come clear understanding and the door to freedom.
Living by the Word is the finest work in this world; it keeps the Naam in your heart and opens the door to freedom.
Sabad karnee hai saar: the practice of the Word is the most worthwhile work of a life. Moh gubaar, the darkness of clinging, is the fog that swallows everything else. Through the Word the Naam is kept in the heart, and mokh du-aar, the door of freedom, swings open.
What is one thing worth returning to, again and again, no matter what else is happening?
