Guru ji says that he has visree, forgotten the seva of the Guru, service of the Guru. kio man rahai hazoor; kio means how, how can his mind focus on the presence of the hazoor - Waheguru for anything. What Guru Ji is saying here is that seva, creates an awareness, creates a recognition, creates enlightenment within the being of Waheguru ji’s presence all around. When you start to immerse yourself in seva you begin to recognize the Lord is permeating through all around you. manmukh janam gavaa-i-aa , The person who doesn’t realize this follows their mind. The person who follows his mind, what happens, janam gavaaiaa; they waste this life. How? jhoothai laalach koor ; Through their greed which is false and through koor- lies.

pa-orhee|| ko-ee nindak hovai satguroo kaa fir saran gur aavai

Guru Amar das ji says even if someone nindak hovai - slanders the Satguru, the true Guru but then, fir aavai comes and seeks the saran protection of the Guru. What happens then? Guru Amar Das Ji says pichhlay gunah satgur bakhas la-ay satsangat naal ralaavai The satgur, true Guru forgives the past sins of that person, and satsangat naal ralavai the Guru unites that person into the congregation of truth. Guru Ji gives an analogy here.

ji-o meehi vuthai galee-aa naali-aa tobhi-aa kaa jal jaa-ay pavai vich sursaree sursaree milat pavitar paavan ho-ay jaavai

jio meehi vuthai, means when the rain falls, galee-aa naali-aa tobhi-aa means the rivers, streams and ponds, all the little bits of water, they all join together and flow to where? jal jaa-ay pavai vich sursaree into the Ganges. Then what to this water when it meets with Ganges, milat pavitar paavan ho-ay jaavai - meeting with Ganges this water from ponds, rivers and puddles which was being stepped on, which was not pure at all becomes pavittarnindaks the slanderers with all the past sins falls on the feet of the Guru, the Guru washes away and purifies the past sins.

ayh vadi-aa-ee satgur nirvair vich jit mili-ai tisnaa bhukh utrai har saaNt tarh aavai

This is the greatness- vadiaaee of the Satguru, the true Guru, who is nirvair - who has no enemies. By meeting the Guru, jit mili-ai or by uniting with the Guru, tisnaa bhukh utrai the hunger inside of greed is removed - utrai, utrai har saaNt tarh aavai, tarh means in an instant; when meeting the Guru you find complete peace within you.

naanak ih achraj daykhhu mayray har sachay saah kaa je satguroo no mannai so sabhnaaN bhaavai.

O Nanak daykhu achraj, see this marvelous wonder of mere saah kaa - my true king, Hari, my Waheguru. That person who believes in and follows the Satguru with his or her mind body and soul, that person is loved by all. Sudh This is the end of the Bilaval Vaar and ends with Sudh, which literally means pure and correct. So what Guru Ji says here in this conclusion of the Bilaval Vaar, Guru ji is saying recognize who you are, put yourself into the Seva of the Guru, and Guru Ji is saying even if you have gone so far as to slander the Guru, you can still fall back into the Guru’s Grace just by falling into the protection of the Guru, just by proclaiming to the Guru that sagal duwaar ko chhad kai gaye tuharo duwaar, bahain gaye ki laaj us gobind daas tuhaar. As Guru Gobind Singh Ji says in the Dasam Granth. All we have to do is fall back into His protection. The Guru is nirvair, has no enemies, and is waiting for us with open arms.

apnaa aap na pachhaan-ee har parabh jaataa door gur kee sayvaa visree ki-o man rahai hajoor ||

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa! Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
