Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When your heart is full of the One who takes fear away, you begin to understand everyone and everything around you — because you are seeing from a place that is not afraid.
Nanak says: this is my one request — my Creator, let me keep You in mind always, never losing You even for a moment. Of all the things I could ask for, this is the one I ask.
bhai bhanjan is the Destroyer of fear. A heart that rests in the fearless One begins to jaanai sagal jahaan, to know the whole world, because fear is what distorts our seeing. The closing line is a daan, a request for a blessing — not for wealth or safety but simply for continuous remembrance. It is the humblest possible ask, and the largest.
If you could ask for just one thing and keep it forever, what would it be — and why that?
