Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The true One has let the whole world fool itself — and none of us, finally, has the last word over that.
Nanak says: the One does just as the One pleases, by its own Will.
The close lands on hukam — the ordering Will — and does something subtle: it frames even the world's self-deception as running within that Will, so that no one, deceiver or deceived, has "any say." This is not fatalism that excuses us; it is the humbling that ends the ego's illusion of control. Paired with P4's self-knowledge, it completes the shabad: know yourself, love the One, and rest in a Will larger than your own. The scholar addressed in P0 is left with the one lesson no library holds.
Where might letting go of 'having the last word' actually bring you peace instead of loss?
