ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸ ਤਾ ਕੀ ਸਰਨਾਈ ਜਾ ਕੋ ਸਬਦੁ ਅਖੰਡ ਅਪਾਰ ॥੨॥੯॥੨੭॥
naanak daas taa kee sarnaa-ee jaa ko sabad akhand apaar. ||2||9||27||
Slave Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of God; the Word of His Shabad is unbreakable and infinite. ||2||9||27||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says: I, a humble servant, take shelter in the One, and that shelter holds.
The Word of the One cannot be broken and has no edges; it goes on and on without end.
Some things cannot be broken — the truth you rest in is one of them.
A shelter holds when what it rests on cannot break. Naanak daas taa kee sarnaa-ee — a humble servant's shelter in the One; jaa ko sabad akhand apaar — whose Word is unbreakable (akhand) and boundless (apaar). A shelter that holds because what it rests on cannot be broken.
A Question to Sit With
