Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
The Guru is a field of calm, easy wisdom. Whoever is moved to love the Guru plants the seed of the Naam there. The Naam sprouts, and that person stays wrapped up in the Naam.
Ego, the feeling of being a separate self, is the seed of doubt, and it has been pulled out. It is not planted there, and it does not sprout. Whatever the One gives, that is what you eat.
When water mixes with water, it can never be pulled apart again.
Nanak says: someone who follows the Guru is a wonder. Come, everyone, and see! But what can people see if they do not understand? Only the one the One helps to see can see, the one in whose heart the One has come to live.
A farming image sets the whole Vaar in motion: the True Guru is a field of intuitive wisdom, and the Name is the seed. Haumai (the illusion of being a separate self) is named as the seed of doubt, now uprooted, so it neither grows nor sprouts. Whatever God grants us, we eat is the quiet contentment of providence. The merger figure, water into water that cannot be separated again, is pure non-duality, and the final line keeps it all inside grace: he alone sees whom the One causes to see.
What have you planted lately that has quietly grown into you?
