Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All that the Perfect One does is perfect; nothing is too little, and nothing too much.
Nanak says: whoever turns to the Guru and knows this merges into the Perfect One.
All that the Perfect One does is complete, and knowing it, we merge into the One.
Everything the Perfect One does is complete, and knowing this is how we merge into the One.
Pooray kaa kee-aa sabh kichh pooraa: all that the Perfect One does is perfect. Ghat vaDh kichh naahee: nothing is short, nothing is extra. The one who turns to the Guru, gurmukh, knows this, aisaa jaanai, and merges into the Perfect One.
These are the last of Guru Nanak's saloks in this collection.
