Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Through the perfect Guru, the Naam is found.
The way of yoga is to stay merged in Truth.
The yogis wander lost among their twelve schools, the sannyasis (wandering monks) among their ten orders.
Whoever, through the Guru's Word, lets the small self die while still alive finds the door to freedom.
Without the Word, everyone clings to duality, to what is not the One. Think it over in your heart, and see.
Nanak says: great and very fortunate are those who keep the True One in their hearts.
Truth held in the heart outweighs every school and order. The yogis have twelve schools and the sannyasis ten, and one thing crowns them all: sach rakhi-aa ur dhaar, keeping Truth in the heart. Mar jeevai (dead while alive) is again the small self letting go while one fully lives.
What do you keep closest to your heart?
