I am the slave of the Lord of the Universe; my Master is the greatest of all.
ਕਰਨ ਕਰਾਵਨ ਸਗਲ ਬਿਧਿ ਸੋ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਹਮਾਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
karan karaavan sagal biDh so satguroo hamaaraa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
He is the Creator, the Cause of causes; He is my True Guru. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am the slave of the One; my Master is the greatest of all.
He is the Creator, the cause of causes; He is my true Guru.
Serving the greatest of all is the highest dignity there is.
The Pause names the relationship — "I am the slave of the Lord" — and the Master's greatness: "the Creator, the Cause of causes." To serve the greatest of all is no servitude but the highest dignity.
