Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One's humble servant worships with love and sees the One close at hand.
They are like the dust of the lotus feet of holy people.
Those who stay lovingly tuned to the One forever
are given understanding by the Perfect True Guru.
The One is not far off; it is right here to be lived with.
Those who love the One see the One close at hand, stay humble, and are given understanding.
Daykh hajoor means beholding the ever-present. The dust-of-feet humility repeats from the prior shabad. Understanding is given (dee-aa bujhaa-ay), received as grace, not achieved by force.
A Question to Sit With
How might your day change if you felt the One was right beside you?
