Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Guru is a tree of nectar, and its fruit is pure sweetness. Whoever is meant to receive it finds it through the Guru's Word.
When you walk in step with the Guru's will, you blend into the One. Your heart lights up from the inside, and fear loses its grip. Nanak says the One forgives and draws you close, and nothing pulls you back into restlessness — you are simply home.
The Guru is a tree of nectar, and walking in the Guru's way brings you home to the One.
Satgur amrit birakh hai amrit ras fali-aa — the Guru is a nectar tree, heavy with sweet fruit. Gur sabdee mili-aa — the fruit is found through the Guru's Word. Satgur kai bhaanai jo chalai har saytee rali-aa — whoever walks in the Guru's will blends with the One. Ghat chaanan bali-aa — a lamp is lit inside, and even the fear of death cannot reach that light. Bakhas milaa-i-an — the One forgives and draws you in, and the long round of coming and going is over.
What is something in your life that quietly makes you kinder just by being near it?
