ਮੈ ਸਹੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਅਵਰੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਕੋਈ ॥
mai saho daataa ayk hai avar naahee ko-ee.
My Husband Lord, the Great Giver, is One. There is no other at all.
ਗੁਰ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਤਾ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gur kirpaa tay man vasai taa sadaa sukh ho-ee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
By Guru's merciful favor, He abides in the mind, and then, a lasting peace ensues. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My Beloved, the Great Giver, is One — there is no other at all.
By the Guru's kind favor He lives in the mind, and then a lasting peace comes.
When the only One there is comes to live in you, a lasting peace simply follows.
The Pause holds the non-duality ("there is no other at all") and the fruit ("a lasting peace"). The One is named "the Great Giver" — the same inexhaustible generosity that runs through Aasaa — and the peace follows simply from the One taking up residence within (cf. Shabad 64, Shabad 27).
A Question to Sit With
What brings you a peace that stays, rather than one that quickly fades?
