Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Let good guidance lead you to do good things, and keep the One close — that's the doorway to freedom.

Doing good under wise guidance is an open door to freedom.
The deeper layer

The rahao: "O my mind, under Guru's Instruction, do good deeds. Dwell forever on the Lord, and you shall find the gate of salvation." Simple and active — goodness done, not just felt, under wise guidance, is the open door.

A Question to Sit With

What good deed could you do today, guided by something wise you've learned?
