Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O True One, needing nothing from anyone, You alone are my Master.
You Yourself are everything. Who else could I count?
Human pride is false. Your greatness is true.
You made coming and going, and so You made the world full of life.
Whoever serves their own True Guru, their coming into the world counts.
If ego — the feeling of being a separate self — leaves from inside, what score is left to keep?
The one who follows only their own mind is lost in the dark of clinging, like someone lost in a forest.
Even one tiny grain of the Naam wipes away countless wrongs.
Only the One is true and needs nothing; human pride is false, and one grain of the Naam washes away countless wrongs.
This is the eleventh pauri. Sachaa vayparvaahu: the True One who needs no one's approval. Maanas koorhaa garab: human pride is false and does not last. The manmukh, the one who follows only their own mind, is like someone lost in a dark forest. When haumai, ego, goes, there is nothing left to judge.
Where in your life are you performing, and where are you simply yourself?
