Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Mother, father, children, friends, brothers and sisters — without the One, none of them are finally real.
Here and beyond, the One is the soul's companion, filling every place.
This line says the One is our friend who stays with us everywhere, through our family and beyond them.
Maat pitaa sut meet bhaa-ee — mother, father, children, friends, brothers and sisters. Tis binaa nahee ko-ay — without the One, none of them is our final support. This does not mean people don't matter. They matter a lot.
The second line explains it. Eet oot jee-a naal sangee — here and beyond, the One is the soul's companion, sarab ravi-aa so-ay, filling every place. So the One is inside the people we love, and also beyond them.
Think of the sky over your house. It is above your family at dinner, and it is still above you when you travel far away. The people we love can't come with us everywhere. The One can. Love your people with your whole heart, and lean on the One who is in them and always stays.
How might you love people more freely if you weren't asking them to be the thing that stays forever?
