Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One who saves is full of mercy.
Think of the One for a single moment, and millions of lifetimes of wandering are wiped away.
Every living being worships the One.
Receiving the Guru's word, you meet the One.
Even a single moment of remembering can lighten a heavy load.
Raakhanhaar da-i-aal — the merciful Protector. Kot bhav khanday nimakh khi-aal: a moment’s (nimakh) thought dissolves kot bhav, countless rounds of trouble. Gur mil mant: it is through the Guru’s word (mant) that the meeting happens — teaching as the bridge.
