Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O Siblings of Destiny — walk in harmony with the Guru's Will.

Contemplate the Word of the Guru's teaching. Day and night, praise the True Lord.

The door of the Husband Lord opens to those who walk in His Will. There is no other key.

The door of union opens to the one who walks in the Guru's Will — there is no other key.
The deeper layer

The rahao answers the opening question (whose door shall I go to?) directly: go to the door of the Guru's Will. Gurmat chal — walk in the Guru's teaching. The door of union opens to those who align with the divine Will.

Day and night, praise the Lord (sach saalaahi — praise the True One). Constancy again: not as a burden but as the natural activity of the aligned soul.

A Question to Sit With

What does it mean to you to 'walk in harmony' with something larger? Can you describe what that feels or looks like in a practical sense?
