Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Does anyone truly belong to anyone else? How rare to find. Everyone belongs to you. You are the One behind all of us. Every creature, every bit of wealth, all of it is yours. And how hard it is to put you into words, or to hold you in the mind at all.
A quiet dismantling of moha, possessive attachment: the claim "this person is mine, this thing is mine" barely holds -- how rare that it is even true. All belong to the One; ownership is on loan. The closing Nanak line lands on the note that runs through all of Gauree Mehl 1: the One is finally hard to describe and hard even to contemplate -- which is itself why awe, not cleverness, is the right response.
What is something you call "mine"? What would it feel like to hold it a little more lightly?
