Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your servant prays to You; You are my True Master.
You are my protector always; I hold You in mind. All beings are Yours; You fill them all. Whoever slanders Your servant is undone. Falling at Your feet, Nanak has let his cares go and become care-free.
The twenty-first Pauree's companion returns to nichint — care-free — reached by "falling at Your Feet." The whole prayer rests on one conviction: "You are my Protector, forever and ever." Once that protection is trusted, the cares can be set down. And "all beings are Yours" widens it — the protecting One is everyone's, so there is no one finally outside its care. Trust the protection, drop the worry.
What cares might you set down if you fully trusted you were held?
