Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
One who serves the True Teacher, through the Grace of the True Teacher, merges in the True One.
Abiding in the true home of the self, the True One is found.
Service that is genuine — complete, without ego-claim — does not accumulate *karma*. It dissolves it.
The contrast with the "I did this" fool: the one who serves (sevaak) the True Guru does not claim independent doing. The service is offered; the merger follows; the True One is found in the inner home.
Sach ghar (true home of the self) returns — the antar ghar (inner home) where the divine has always been present. Service of the Guru makes the seeker available to recognize what has always been there.
Can you think of something you've done that felt genuinely selfless — where you weren't monitoring your own goodness while doing it? What was that experience like?
