Meditating on the Supreme Lord God, the Transcendent Lord, I have found peace, pleasure and salvation. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Know the One you came from.
I meditated on the Supreme One, and found peace, ease and freedom.
Knowing where you come from helps you know who you are.
Knowing your source brings well-being. jis tay upji-aa tiseh pachhaan — know the source you arose from; recognition, not acquisition. paarbarahm parmaysar Dhi-aa-i-aa — meditating on the Supreme One. kusal khaym ho-ay kali-aan — well-being, ease, wholeness.
