Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you know that everything, even you, belongs to the One, your grip loosens. A light, free feeling takes its place.
You offer your body and heart back to the One they came from. Such a person does not come and does not go; they stay steady. Nanak says: they merge into the True One, and they and the Truth become one.
Everything belongs to the One; hold it lightly, and you merge into Truth.
Rahai ateet jaanai sabh tis kaa — one stays unattached, knowing everything belongs to the One. Ateet means free, holding things lightly. Tan man arpai hai ih jis kaa — one offers body and mind to the One they belong to. Arpai means offers.
Naa oh aavai naa oh jaa-ay — such a person does not come and does not go. They stand steady. Naanak saachay saach samaa-ay — says Nanak, they merge into the True One. Saach means Truth. Think of a raindrop falling into the ocean. It becomes part of something much bigger.
What feels different when you hold something you love with an open hand instead of a tight fist?
