Verse 4 of 4

One Support, and It's the Source of Everything

ਮਨ ਮਹਿ ਰਾਖਉ ਏਕ ਅਸਾਰੇ ॥
man meh raakha-o ayk asaaray.
Within my mind, I have the Support of the One Lord alone.
ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਰੇ ਕਰਨੈਹਾਰੇ ॥੪॥੨੫॥
naanak parabh mayray karnaihaaray. ||4||25||
O Nanak, my God is the Creator of all. ||4||25||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

In my mind I lean on the One alone.

Nanak says: my One is the Creator of all.

One support, and it's the source of everything — undivided trust in the Creator of all.
The deeper layer

The close is single-hearted: "the Support of the One Lord alone." After naming the One master of the masterless and the default of the mind, it rests on undivided trust in the Creator of all. One support, and it is the source of everything.

A Question to Sit With

What would it be to lean on one support alone, knowing it made everything?
