Meet with your companion and helper, the Perfect Transcendent Lord God; you shall never be separated from Him again. ||6||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Make me a servant of Your servants, O Keeper of the world.
You are a treasure of kindness, gentle with everyone who feels small.
Meet your Friend and Helper, the Perfect Highest One, and you will never be parted again.
The best kind of friendship is one that cannot be broken.
'Daas daasan', servant of servants, is a glad wish to belong among those who love the One. The gift is unbreakable closeness: 'kaday na hovee bhangnaa', never to be parted.
