Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
It is so easy to love only the things I can see and touch — my stuff, my screen, whatever is right in front of me. But You never change and never fade, and I want to know You. How do I even reach the One who lasts?
So this is my ask: be kind to me and set my feet on the road that leads to You. Let me hold the edge of the cloak of the Sangat — the people who are already walking toward the Light — and walk with them.
We love what we can see, but the One can't be seen with eyes. That is an honest problem.
Nadree aavai tis si-o moh — we get attached to whatever we see. Moh means attachment, holding on tight. The One is abhinaasee, which means never fading, never breaking. So how do we meet the One?
The answer is not "try harder." It is a request: kar kirpaa mohi maarag paavhu — be kind, and place me on the path. It is grace received, not earned. Then: saaDhsangat kai anchal laavhu — let me hold the hem of the robe of the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Picture a small child in a busy market, holding tight to a parent's clothes so as not to get lost.
What things that you can see and hold do you love most — and is there something you cannot see that matters even more?
