Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Fruitful are the lives of those who walk in harmony with the Will of the True Teacher.
Their families are saved along with them. Blessed are the mothers who gave birth to them.
By His Will, He grants grace. Those who receive it meditate on the Name of the Lord.
The communal dimension of the Gurmukh's realization: kul kaadhe — their families are saved. This is a teaching about the ripple effects of genuine spiritual realization. The one who finds the Name doesn't just find it for themselves — they carry those closest to them.
"Blessed are the mothers who gave birth to them" — this is Guru Amar Das's expression of deep gratitude for the circumstances that allow the divine to manifest. The mother who gave this soul to the world is blessed retroactively.
Has someone else's spiritual journey or genuine goodness ever helped you — carried you in some way — even when you weren't actively seeking? Who was that?
