Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My heart, my heart is tuned to the love of the One — the endless, steady support underneath the whole world.
That One was here before the beginning, is here now, and will always be here; everything else comes and goes.
This shabad (and the next) repeats man mayraa, man mayraa — 'my mind, my mind' — like a heart saying the thing twice because it means it. The One is named as the support of the earth (aadhaar), unfathomable, unapproachable, infinite — and, crucially, permanent: here from the beginning, through the ages, now and forever, while all else is false (meaning: passing, not lasting). The verse gently notes that clarity and freedom come to those who value good deeds and living rightly. The Gurmukh's whole practice is simple and constant: day and night, remember the Name.
What is one thing you're pretty sure will always matter, no matter what changes?
