Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let me remember the One, and not split my heart between many rival wants pulling in every direction.
In good company, let me simply keep the Name — that one steady thread — held in mind.
Ayko simar na doojaa bhaa-o — "remember the One; not the love of duality." Doojaa bhaa-o is "the love of the second thing" — a heart divided, chasing many rival attachments at once. The teaching is not that you may love only one thing in life, but that beneath all your loves there can be one steady center. Satsang jap kayval naao — in good company, keep the Name. The mind is steadied by having a single root instead of many competing pulls.
When your wants pull you in many directions at once, what helps you find a steady center again?
