Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I worship the One worth worshipping, and trust the One worth trusting. Like water into water, I merge in the Lord.
Jaidev says: I remember the shining Lord, and I am lovingly lost in the deep peace of the One.
Loving the One ends like water pouring into water.
Jai Dayv puts three steps side by side. First, worship the One who is worth worshipping. Next, trust the One who is worth trusting. Then, salal ka-o salal: "like water into water," he merges with the One.
Think of pouring a glass of water into a lake. A second later, you cannot find your glass of water anymore. It did not vanish. It simply became part of the lake, held and at home.
At the end he uses the word nirbaan. It is a word also used in Buddhism and in yoga for the deepest peace, when all restlessness has gone quiet. Jai Dayv reaches for it gladly. Many traditions point toward this same peace of being one with what is real.
What does it feel like to be completely at home in yourself?
