Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I feel I have little goodness of my own — so please fill me with goodness, and let my mind sing the Name.
By the kindness of the wise, I have met the One, and now my whole being feels cool, calm, and content.
The closing turn. Nirgunee-aaray ka-o gun keejai — 'to me who feels without merit, grant merit' — empty-handedness toward grace: goodness is asked for as a gift, not claimed. Har naam mayraa man jaapay — 'let my mind hold the Name.' Then the arrival: sant parsaad naanak har bhaytay — 'by the grace of the wise, the One is met' — and the felt result: man tan seetal dharaapay — mind and body seetal (cool, at peace) and dharaapay (satisfied, full). The whole shabad's plea to be 'carried all the way' is answered: the seeker arrives, cooled and content, in good company.
What makes you feel truly cool and settled inside after a hot, stressful day?
