Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is no friend in all the world quite like the One.
This One gave me my body, my mind, and the spark of awareness that lets me feel and think.
It cares tenderly for every living being, and lives deep inside each of us, wise and all-knowing.
The One who gave you everything is your closest friend.
Har saa meet naahee mai ko-ee — I have no friend like the One. That friend gave body, mind and awareness (surat), and goes on caring for every living being. Close as a friend, wise from deep within.
