Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Everything I am, body and breath and soul, already belongs to the One.

The True One is my only Master.

Nanak says: through the Guru's Bani I have found the One, and repeating the Naam I have melted into it.

All that I am already belongs to the One who made me.
The deeper layer

Total belonging, the True One as sole Master, and union through the Bani.

A Question to Sit With

What does it feel like to belong somewhere completely?
