Sikhism·Raag Raamkalee·Shabad 102
Verse 10 of 10

Friend, Family, and Everything Dear

ਮੀਤ ਸਾਜਨ ਮਾਲੁ ਜੋਬਨੁ ਸੁਤ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਾਪੁ ਮੇਰੀ ਮਾਈ ਸੰਤਹੁ ॥੮॥੨॥੭॥
meet saajan maal joban sut har naanak baap mayree maa-ee santahu. ||8||2||7||
Nanak: the Lord is my friend, companion, wealth, youth, son, father and mother, O Saints. ||8||2||7||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Nanak says: the One is my friend and my companion, my wealth and my youth, my child.

The One is my father and my mother, O saints.

Everything you love points back to one love beneath it all.
The deeper layer

Every dear relationship, meet, saajan, maal, joban, sut, baap, maa (friend, companion, wealth, youth, child, father, mother), is found in the One. People still matter; everything we love points back to the single love beneath them all.

A Question to Sit With

Who are all the people who feel like home to you?
