ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
ik-oNkaar satgur parsaad.
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਚਿਤਵਉ ਚਿਤਵਿ ਸਰਬ ਸੁਖ ਪਾਵਉ ਆਗੈ ਭਾਵਉ ਕਿ ਨ ਭਾਵਉ ॥
chitva-o chitav sarab sukh paava-o aagai bhaava-o ke na bhaava-o.
Contemplating Him within my consciousness, I obtain total peace; but hereafter, will I be pleasing to Him or not?
ਏਕੁ ਦਾਤਾਰੁ ਸਗਲ ਹੈ ਜਾਚਿਕ ਦੂਸਰ ਕੈ ਪਹਿ ਜਾਵਉ ॥੧॥
ayk daataar sagal hai jaachik doosar kai peh jaava-o. ||1||
There is only One Giver; all others are beggars. Who else can we turn to? ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Contemplating Him within, I find total peace; but hereafter, will I be pleasing to Him or not?
There is only One Giver; all others are beggars. Who else can we turn to?
Everyone you'd turn to for help is themselves a beggar — only the One is the Giver.
A clear-eyed truth: "there is only One Giver; all others are beggars." Everyone you might turn to for help is themselves a beggar before the One. So why beg from beggars? Turn to the only Giver there is.
A Question to Sit With
Who do you turn to, and who is the one truly able to give?
