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.
I come to the shelter of the One who can do anything.
My whole self — heart, body, and everything I have — belongs to the One who is the reason behind everything.
When you know Whose you are, you can rest your whole self in that shelter.
This opens the two-verse hymns, with its own Ik Onkar / satgur prasaad header. Sarab kalaa — all powers — and total belonging: tan man dhan offered to the kaaran karan. A short, whole-hearted handing-over.
A Question to Sit With
What would it feel like to know you completely belong somewhere safe?
