Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is a place — an inner place — where greatness, eternal peace, and endless joy live. Those whose minds are saturated with the True Name arrive there.
Their faces are anointed with grace.
If you receive this grace, these honors are given — not by mere words.
This one says that grace shows on a person's face.
Jithai mileh vadi-aa-ee-aa sad khusee-aa sad chaa-o: there is a place where greatness, lasting peace and joy are given. Some call this sach khand, the realm of Truth. It's a state of feeling whole inside. Peace isn't something you win there. It is where you land when you stop running away from it. Think of a kid who stops chasing a butterfly and sits still, and then the butterfly lands on her hand.
Tin mukh tikay niklahi jin man sachaa naa-o: those whose minds hold the True Name get a mark of honor on their foreheads. Long ago, in royal courts, a ruler's favor was marked right on an honored guest's forehead. Here the One's grace leaves a mark people can see on those who live in step with it. Others notice it, even if they can't say what it is.
Karam milai taa paa-ee-ai: this comes through grace, naahee galee vaa-o du-aa-o, not through empty words.
Have you ever met someone who seemed genuinely at peace? What was it about them that you noticed?
