Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Blessed is the heart that turns toward wisdom and takes it in.
Blessed is the one who speaks the good, and whose heart lights up hearing it.
I bow with deep respect to anyone who walks the good way.
Blessed is anyone who turns toward wisdom, speaks kindly, and walks the good way.
The Pauree is an anaphora — "Blessed, blessed is that Sikh of the Guru" — repeated, honoring the one who falls at the Guru's feet, utters the Name, becomes blissful hearing it, and "walks in the Way of the Guru." Deep respect for anyone sincerely walking the good path. For a child: blessed is anyone who turns toward wisdom, speaks kindly, and walks the good way — they deserve deep respect.
