Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are all-powerful, always; You show me the way — I am a sacrifice to You.
Your Saints sing to You with love; I fall at their feet.
Here the One is not only where we are going. The One is also the guide who shows the way. sabh din kay samrath panth bithulay — You are all-powerful at all times, and You show me the Way.
Think of a friend who doesn't just give you an address, but walks there with you. The speaker answers with thanks. ha-o bal bal jaa-o — "I am a sacrifice to You." It means: I give my whole self to You.
Then comes humility toward good people: "Your Saints sing to You with love; I fall at their feet." Loving the One and honoring those who love the One are really one act. This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad.
Who has 'shown you the way,' and how do you honor them?
