Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One gave you the air you breathe, worth more than any treasure.
The One gave you water beyond price.
The One gave you burning fire.
O mind, rest in the shelter of that Master.
Air, water and fire come to you every day as gifts from the One.
Pavan amolaa — air, worth more than any price. Neer nirmolaa — water, also beyond price. Paavak — fire, which warms us and cooks our food.
We almost never think about these. We breathe all day without noticing. Water comes from the tap. But try holding your breath for a moment, and you feel how precious air is.
These are grace in the most everyday form. They are given freely, to everyone, every day. Tis thaakur kee rahu man sarnaa — O mind, rest in the shelter of that Master.
What free, everyday thing would you miss most if it were gone?
