Everything I have belongs to the One who fills every place, hidden and plain.
The Arc
This opens the Du-Padas (two-verse shabads, with their own Mool Mantar). A whole-hearted handing-over: the seeker takes shelter in the all-powerful One and gives over the whole self; remembrance yields lasting peace because the One fills every place, seen and unseen; and the close sets down life's tangles to sing, asking with pressed palms for the one gift — the Name.
Key Vocabulary
Sarab kalaa — all powers — the One who can do anything
Tan man dhan — body, mind, and wealth — the whole self offered
Sookham / Asthool — subtle/hidden and manifest/plain — the One fills both
Kar jorr — palms pressed together — the gesture of asking
Themes and Cross-Connections

For Raag Maale-Gaorhaa
The shortest form in the raag makes its central prayer bare and direct: 'please, give me Your Name.'
