My Resting Place and Truest Friend

ਮੇਰੇ ਮਾਨ ਕੋ ਅਸਥਾਨੁ ॥
mayray maan ko asthaan.
He is the place of rest for my mind,
ਮੀਤ ਸਾਜਨ ਸਖਾ ਬੰਧਪੁ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ਜਾਨੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
meet saajan sakhaa banDhap antarjaamee jaan. ||1|| rahaa-o.
my friend, companion, associate and relative; He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One is the resting place of my mind.

My friend, my companion, my family, all in One — the One who knows my heart from within.

The One is friend, family, and resting place, and knows your heart from the inside.
The deeper layer

The One is mayray maan ko asthaan, the resting place of my mind, and meet saajan sakhaa bandhap, friend and companion and kin all at once. As antarjaamee, the inner-knower, this Friend reads the heart from within. The whole song's comfort is here: you always have a friend who knows you through and through.

A Question to Sit With

Who is someone who knows you so well that you can fully relax around them?
