Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My pride, my whole pride, I place in the One.
Wise beyond wisdom, knowing beyond knowing — that is my One.
Skilled and all-knowing, forever first of all, and the Name is pure nectar.
Those with this blessing written on their foreheads taste it and are filled, satisfied by the Keeper of the world.
They keep the One in mind and find the One, and they place all their pride in the One.
Nanak says: the One sits on a throne that never topples, and the One's court is true.
Maano here means where you place your worth and confidence: not in status or possessions but in the One. Amrit har kaa naamaa — the Name as amrit, the nectar of undying life, which satisfies (aghaanay) so fully that craving stops. Thir takhat ... sach deebaano — an unshakable throne and a true court: a reality that does not wobble the way worldly power does.
Where do you place your sense of worth, and does it hold when things shake?
