Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Turn toward the One who is beyond reach and without end.

No edge, no far shore, can be found around it.

By the Guru's grace it comes to live deep in a heart, and that heart fills with boundless wisdom.

The boundless One can make a home in your heart.
The deeper layer

Har jee-o sayvihu agam apaaraa — serve the unreachable, infinite One. Tis daa ant na paa-ee-ai — no limit can be found. By gur parsaad, that boundless One dwells within a heart and fills it with mat agaahaa, unfathomable wisdom.

A Question to Sit With

What is something so big it makes you feel wonder rather than worry?
