Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
What does my mind say? What can I say?
You are wise and know everything, my Master, my God — what can I say to You?
There is nothing to explain to the One who already knows everything.
This is the pause line, the Rahao, the center of the shabad. Man ki-aa kahtaa ha-o ki-aa kahtaa means what does my mind say? What can I say? Our minds chatter all day, explaining and planning. Jaan parbeen thaakur parabh mayray means my Master is jaan, all-knowing, and parbeen, wise. Think of running in to tell your mom about a scraped knee, and she already has the bandage out. She saw it before you spoke. Being fully known like that is a relief, not a worry.
What is it like to be around someone who just gets you?
