Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When people turn their backs on their own Guru, they end up hurting mostly themselves, wandering without a center.
A heart like that roams from house to house, unsettled and never at rest, never quite feeling at home anywhere.
And yet, by great good fortune, even the most lost person can meet the Sangat, turn toward the Guru, and be gently set right.
So I pray: be kind to me, and lead me to the True Guru. I would give anything for the Guru.
Jinaa gur gopi-aa aapnaa — those who hide and deny their own Guru. Turning away from your guidance leaves you rootless and restless, wandering ghar ghar, from house to house. Then comes the turn: vadbhaagee sangat milay... savaaree — by great good fortune they meet the Sangat and are set right. Nobody is written off. The close is a longing prayer: har maylhu satgur — lead me to the True Guru.
Have you ever felt lost or unsure, and then a kind, wise person helped you find your footing again? What did they do that helped?
