Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
One who carries real trust in wisdom's guide comes to live in remembrance -
known through all the worlds as a lover of the One, with the One dwelling in the heart.
True, their doings; true, their ways; true, their heart; true, the speech of their mouth. True, their seeing; true, their very form.
They hand out truth the way others hand out bread - they spread it wherever they go. And whoever recognizes the Supreme as True is absorbed - into the True One.
Let truth soak all the way through you, until your inside and outside match.
Sach means true, or truth. The word comes again and again, like a drumbeat. True actions. True ways. A true heart. True words. True eyes. A true form. Truth here is more than getting facts right. It means being real all the way through, with nothing in you put on as an act.
Think of chocolate bunnies. Some are hollow inside. Some are solid chocolate all the way through. Earlier in Sukhmani we met the pretender, a person split in two. This is the healed person, with no seam between inside and outside.
Two lines make truth something you share. Sach vartai saachaa paasaar — they hand out truth and spread it. Truth is like bread passed around the table. A true person keeps handing it out, instead of standing still like a statue.
The last line closes the circle. Whoever knows the Supreme as True melts into the True One, like water blending into water. You become what you most deeply honor.
If everything about you - words, actions, even your face - had to tell one story, what story would you want it to be?
