Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
What do I know about what the One does and makes happen?
Without the Naam, nothing makes my body feel good.
You can know very little about what the One does and still feel this: without the Naam, nothing feels good.
This is the rahaa-o, the pause line, the center of the shabad. Ki-aa jaanaaN ki-aa karai karaavai: what do I know of what the One does and causes? A humble not-knowing. Naam binaa tan kichh na sukhaavai, without the Name, nothing makes the body feel good. The pauri pairs intellectual humility with felt certainty: you need not understand everything to know from experience what makes life feel right.
Is there something you cannot explain but you know is true from experience?
