Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my mind — walk in harmony with the Will of the True Teacher.
Day and night, meditate on the Lord and find everlasting peace.
Harmony with the Guru's Will is not submission to a human being. It is alignment with the deepest truth of your own nature.
The rahao presents Gurmat maan chalo — walk honoring the Guru's teaching. The word maan (honor, respect) carries an active quality: not passive compliance but respectful, willing alignment.
The practice: day and night, Hari dhiaa-ay — meditate on the Lord. The constancy again. Not a special-occasion practice but the background of all other activity.
Have you ever found that what a trusted teacher told you turned out to be exactly what you already, at some level, knew? What did it feel like to have that confirmed from outside?
