Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One I love is here in the busy home and out in the empty wild alike, everywhere I look.
I have become fearless. The wise and holy have cleared away my confusion. Now I see the All-knowing One filling everything, complete.
The One fills the home and the wild places alike, so there is no place left to dread.
Baas baasree aykai su-aamee — the one Master lives in the home. Udi-aan daristaagi-o — and is seen in the wilderness too. The One is everywhere. Its fruit is nirbha-o bha-ay, I have become fearless.
For the speaker, knowing the One fills every place means no place is empty of the One. That is a fearlessness of the spirit. It is not a promise that real danger can never come. It is like knowing your family is in the next room while you sleep. Sant bharam daari-o — the holy one cleared my doubt. Bharam is confusion, and it melts in good company. Pooran sarbaagi-o — the all-knowing One, complete, everywhere.
Where do you feel least alone — and could that feeling reach even the places that scare you?
