Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let go of the puffed-up feeling that it is all about you, and keep coming back to the One's shelter — this treasure comes from the Guru.
The noose of birth and death is cut, and you carry the mark of the True One's court.
Setting down the weight of self opens the way to the Guru's treasure.
Aap ti-aag paree-ai nit sarnee — let go of yourself and always seek shelter. Aap here is self-conceit, the swollen sense of a separate 'me' that Sikhs call haumai, the feeling of being cut off from everything else. Gur tay paa-ee-ai ayhu niDhaan — this treasure comes from the Guru. Janam maran kee katee-ai faasee — the knot of birth and death is cut. Saachee dargeh kaa neesaan — this is the mark of the True Court, like a stamp in a passport that says you belong.
What feels lighter when you stop making everything about you?
