Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The ones oriented toward truth do not like falsehood. They are saturated with truth; they love only truth.
The faithless cynics don't like truth — their foundation is false.
Saturated with truth, you meet the teaching. The true ones are absorbed into the True One.
This one gives a simple test: what you like and what bugs you shows which way you are facing.
Gurmukh koorh na bhaav-ee: a gurmukh, someone who faces the Guru, doesn't enjoy falsehood. That isn't because they think they are better than others. It is because truth has become part of who they are. So a lie feels like sand in your shoe. Sach ratay sach bhaa-ay: soaked in Truth, they love Truth.
The saakat is the opposite. The word means someone who has turned away from the One. Saakat sach na bhaav-ee: they don't enjoy truth, for the same reason in reverse. Their ground is built on something false. So truth feels like a threat to it.
Sach ratay gur mayli-ai: soaked in Truth, you meet the Guru. Sachay sach samaa-ay: the true ones melt into the True One.
What falsehoods do you find most irritating in others? What might that reveal about what you care about most deeply?
