ਕਹੁ ਰਵਿਦਾਸ ਸਭੈ ਨਹੀ ਸਮਝਸਿ ਭੂਲਿ ਪਰੇ ਜੈਸੇ ਬਉਰੇ ॥
kaho ravidaas sabhai nahee samjhas bhool paray jaisay ba-uray.
Says Ravi Daas, no one understands; they all run around, deluded like madmen.
ਮੋਹਿ ਅਧਾਰੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਾਰਾਇਨ ਜੀਵਨ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਧਨ ਮੋਰੇ ॥੩॥੧॥
mohi aDhaar naam naaraa-in jeevan paraan Dhan moray. ||3||1||
The Lord's Name is my only Support; He is my life, my breath of life, my wealth. ||3||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Ravi Daas says: no one understands. Everyone runs around lost, as if out of their minds.
The Naam of the One is my only support. The One is my life, my breath, my wealth.
When everyone runs around lost, lean on the Naam.
The ending comes with empty hands and an honest heart: no one understands, and people run around lost, ba-uray, as if out of their minds. The one adhaar, the one support, is the Naam — jeevan praan dhan, life, breath and wealth.
A Question to Sit With
What is the one thing you lean on when you feel lost?
