Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
O Supreme One, highest Lord and Master, Remover of pain, Narayan!
All Your devotees come asking of You. Ocean of peace, carry us across the frightening ocean of the world. O One, You are the jewel that grants every wish.
When life feels like a wide, frightening sea, the One is an ocean of peace that carries you across.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. It is sung in Kalyaan Bhopaalee, a bright form of the raag. Sukh saagar (ocean of peace), bhav niDh taran (carrying across the world-ocean), chintaamanay (the wish-granting jewel). Dookh nivaaran: the One who takes pain away. The mood is pure blessing.
What helps carry you through when things feel overwhelming?
