ਸੇਵਕ ਕਉ ਨਿਕਟੀ ਹੋਇ ਦਿਖਾਵੈ ॥
sayvak ka-o niktee ho-ay dikhaavai.
The Lord appears near at hand to His servant.
ਜੋ ਜੋ ਕਹੈ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਪਹਿ ਸੇਵਕੁ ਤਤਕਾਲ ਹੋਇ ਆਵੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jo jo kahai thaakur peh sayvak tatkaal ho-ay aavai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Whatever the servant asks of his Lord and Master, immediately comes to pass. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One appears near at hand to His servant.
Whatever the servant asks of his Master, immediately comes to pass.
When your asking is aligned with the One's will, the asking and the granting become one.
The Pause: the One "appears near at hand," and "whatever the servant asks... immediately comes to pass." Not because the servant commands the One, but because the servant, aligned with the Will, asks only what the One already wills — so the asking and the granting are one.
