Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is my holy books and my study; the One is my family, my brother, my closest relative.
I stay hungry for the One, and it is the One's name that fills me. The One is the relation who will still be with me at the very end.
A tender reordering of belonging. Scriptures, family, kin — all the sources of identity and security — are folded into the One. This is not a rejection of family; it is a statement about where the ultimate belonging lies, the one relation that does not end when everything else does. The "hunger" that is nonetheless "satisfied" captures devotion's paradox: a longing that fills you even as it keeps you reaching — full and hungry at once, like love itself.
Who or what feels like it would still be with you even if everything else fell away?
