Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One has become my very own help. I found peace the moment I bowed at the feet of those who serve. When my self-centeredness dropped away, I became one with the One. I stepped into the shelter of that treasure of kindness.
This one says that when the me-first feeling drops away, we are no longer apart from the One.
Jan kee keenee aap sahaa-ay — the One becomes the helper of the humble servant. Peace comes lag daasah paa-ay, bowing at the feet of those who serve. That is a picture of setting pride down.
Then the key line. Aap ga-i-aa taa aapeh bha-ay — when the self went away, one became the One. The self here is haumai, the feeling of being separate, the me-first voice.
Think of a drop of water falling into the ocean. Once it stops holding on to being a drop, it is simply the ocean.
Kirpaa nidhaan kee sarnee pa-ay — so take shelter with the One, the treasure of kindness.
What does it feel like when you stop thinking about yourself and just feel part of something bigger?
