ਆਪੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਿ ਮਾਰਿ ਮਨੁ ਦੇਖਿਆ ਤੁਮ ਸਾ ਮੀਤੁ ਨ ਅਵਰੁ ਕੋਈ ॥
aap beechaar maar man daykhi-aa tum saa meet na avar ko-ee.
Reflecting upon my self, and conquering my mind, I have seen that there is no other friend like You.
ਜਿਉ ਤੂੰ ਰਾਖਹਿ ਤਿਵ ਹੀ ਰਹਣਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਦੇਵਹਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਸੋਈ ॥੩॥
ji-o tooN raakhahi tiv hee rahnaa dukh sukh dayveh karahi so-ee. ||3||
As You keep me, so do I live. You are the Giver of peace and pleasure. Whatever You do, comes to pass. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Looking honestly at myself and mastering my mind, I have seen there is no friend anywhere like You.
However You keep me, that is how I live; You are the giver of all peace. Whatever You do comes to pass.
Once you really know the One as your truest friend, you can rest in whatever it arranges.
Self-examination plus mind-mastery yields a discovery: "there is no other friend like You." And from that comes a deep restfulness — "as You keep me, so do I live." This is Hukam received as trust, not resignation: because the One is the truest friend, whatever it arranges can be trusted.
A Question to Sit With
Who is a friend you trust so completely that you can relax around them no matter what?
