Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Think on the Word and you become a hero for all time, O hermit;
think on the Guru's Word with love.
The bravest person is the one whose heart is anchored in the Word.
Sabad soor jug chaaray a-oDhoo — through the Word, O hermit, you become a hero in all four ages. A soor is a hero. The four ages are an old way of saying all of time.
Banee bhagat veechaaree — think about the banee, the Guru's sacred Word, with love. The bravest person is not always the loudest fighter. It is the one whose heart holds steady. Think of a lighthouse in a storm. It does not chase the waves. It just stands and shines. That kind of courage lasts through every age.
Who do you know whose quiet steadiness looks like courage?
