Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Meeting the One with ease and love, peace comes.
The one who faces the Guru stays awake and does not drift into sleep.
They keep the boundless Word of the still One deep inside.
Speaking the Word, they are freed, and they carry others across too.
Those who follow the Guru's teaching are dyed in Truth.
Nanak says: those who lose their small self meet the One, and doubt no longer keeps them apart.
Stay awake inside, let the small self go, and nothing stands between you and the One.
Gurmukh jaagai, staying awake, means not sleepwalking through life. Aap gavaa-ay, losing self-conceit, opens the meeting. Bhraat, doubt, is the sense of being separate; once the small self goes, it has nothing to stand on.
Where in your day do you go on autopilot?
