Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I ask Your people for this teaching:
let me keep my mind on You, and love You.
Let me serve You, and become part of You.
Holy people can teach a simple way of living close to the One.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line. It is the center of the shabad.
Aisee deekhi-aa jan si-o mangaa — I ask Your humble servants for this lesson. Deekhi-aa means teaching.
The lesson has three linked parts. Dhi-aan is steady attention. Rangaa is love, like cloth dyed deep in the One's color. Sayvaa is service, helping wherever you can.
All three lead to belonging. Angaa means a limb, like a hand or a foot. It means feeling yourself part of the One's own body. Think of a hand. It does not work alone. It is part of something bigger, and it knows it.
If you could ask to learn one thing from someone you admire, what would it be?
