Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Only the One, my Master, knows my innermost thoughts.
If anyone else speaks badly of the One's servant, the One does not believe even a tiny bit of what they say.
The One knows your innermost thoughts, so slander against you weighs nothing.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Chitvanee: innermost thoughts, known only to the One. Nind, slander, counts for nothing: ik til nahee maanai, not even a sesame seed of it is believed. The One trusts the heart it can see directly, and being fully known is a kind of safety against gossip.
If someone is being unkind to you or hurting you, that is never something you have to accept. Telling a grown-up you trust is always the right thing to do.
How does it feel to be understood by someone who sees who you are inside?
