Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O Gobind, my Gobind — Keeper of the world, the support of my very breath.
Kind One, my Kind One — the Giver of every gift.
The Giver of gifts is endless and boundless, and so beautiful deep inside every heart.
The One made Maya, the world's glitter, a servant spread far and wide with great power, and she has charmed every living being.
The one the One protects speaks the Truth and thinks deeply on the Guru's Shabad.
Nanak says: whoever pleases the One holds the One dear.
Praan a-Dhaaraa is the support of the breath, the very ground of being. Maya is described as a mighty force (sabal pasaaree) that enchants nearly all beings; the protection is not a wall but the steadying of a heart on sach (what is real) through the Word. Jo prabh ka-o bhaanaa — the one who pleases the One is loved by the One: a mutual, tender relationship.
What helps you stay steady when everything around you is rushing?
