Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who truly hold the One are the true lovers of the One.
Those who follow the teaching and dig deep find the One right inside themselves.
Those who truly serve the One master the very fear of death.
The One, truest of the true, is greater than all; those who serve blend into the One.
Wonderful is the true One; serving the true One, a life blossoms into full fruit.
A Pauri of the Fourth Mehl, drumming sach again and repeating a favorite discovery of this Vaar: tin andrahu hee sach laaDhiaa — those who dig deep find the One "within themselves." The treasure is not far away; the seeking is inward. The literal says the true servant "conquers Death the torturer"; per the wellbeing rules this becomes "master the very fear of death" — steadiness, not battle-gore. The verse ends with the beautiful sayv falaaDhiaa — service that "blossoms into full fruit," the image of a life that ripens naturally when rooted in what is real.
Have you ever looked everywhere for something and found it was with you the whole time? What might that teach us about the biggest search of all?
