Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Oneness knows what is inside me — every thought, every feeling, before I even say it. Nothing needs explaining; it is already understood. You are my strength and my resting place. When I am weak, I am simply leaning on You.
To be fully known and still held is the deepest rest there is.
Antarjaamee parabh sujaan — God is the antarjaamee, the Inner-knower, wise and all-knowing. The One reads every heart.
That might sound scary. Here it means the opposite: closeness. You are already fully known, and still held.
Naanak takee-aa tuhee taan — You are Nanak's pillow and strength. A takee-aa is a cushion you lean on. So being known through and through becomes a comfort. Think of dozing off on the couch and waking with a blanket someone laid over you. They knew you were tired without a word. Being completely known and still safe is the deepest rest.
How does it feel to be truly known by someone and safe with them at the same time?
