Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your life and breath already belong to the One; so gently set down the puffed-up "me."
Keep the One close, and every wish of your heart is met. Nanak says: you will never lose.
Everything you are already belongs to the One, so you can let go of the puffed-up "me."
Jee-o man tan praan means soul, mind, body and breath. All of it is the One's. Aapan aap nivaar means set down your self-importance. Keep the One close, and your truest wishes are met. Then comes a promise: kabahu na haar, you will never lose.
Raag Maaroo was often sung before battles. But the battle truly worth winning is the one inside. Think of a team that stops showing off and starts passing the ball. That team wins together.
When has letting go of pride helped you win?
