Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
He is my Beloved, my brother, father, and mother;
He is the Support of His devotees.
This one says the One is every dear relationship at once.
Guru Arjan says the One is pareetam, my Beloved. And my brother, my father, and my mother. Whatever love you find in a family, the One is where it comes from, and more.
He is also bhagtan kaa olHaa — the shelter of those who love Him.
Think of a warm family dinner, with everyone you love around the table. Now imagine all that love in one place, and never running out. That is the picture here. Guru Arjan paints the same picture in another song, calling the One mother and father.
What loves in your life all point back to one source?
