Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is my support, the One is my steady anchor — nothing else needs to hold me up. And so I am simply busy with the work of the Oneness, gladly. My whole life has one root, and everything grows from there.
Ayk tayk ayko aadhaaraa — "the One is my prop (tek), the One my foundation (aadhaar)." The doubling of ayk (One) drives home single-pointedness: one support, not a scramble of many. Har kee laagaa kaaraa — "engaged in the Oneness's work." The shabad closes where it began, with the joyful servant — now shown to be someone whose whole life has a single root, from which all the rest steadily grows.
What is the one steady thing at the root of your life that everything else grows from?
