Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kind One, give me the sort of understanding that keeps me turned toward You.
I ask for one gift: the humble dust at the feet of the saints.
The best thing to ask for is a mind that remembers.
Saa mat dayh da-i-aal parabh jit tumeh araaDhaa — kind One, give me the kind of understanding that keeps me remembering You. Mat means understanding.
Then comes the one gift asked for: rayn pag saaDhaa, the dust of the feet of the saints. It means humility, being glad to sit low and learn from holy people. Think of a new player who is happy to fetch the balls and learn from the team captains. Humility is the whole ask. Remembering the One is the whole aim.
If you could ask for one quality to grow in yourself, what would it be?
