Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One clears away misfortune; there is no one else.
Remember the One forever and ever — the One fills the water, the land and the sky.
The One fills the water, the land and the sky; do not forget the One, even for a moment.
Blessed was the day I held on to the Guru's feet; all goodness lives in the Lord of the world.
So serve the One day and night, servant; whatever pleases the One is what happens.
Nanak says: I give myself to the Giver of peace; my mind and body are filled with light.
Jal thal mahee-al — water, land, sky: the One as fully pervading all of creation, so there is nowhere the divine is absent. Tis bhaavai so ho-ay — "what pleases the One, happens" — resting in the flow of existence rather than straining against it. Pargaas man tan — mind and body "lit up," an inner illumination.
Where in the ordinary world have you felt something larger than yourself?
