Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my mind, remember Govind, the One — the treasure of every good thing, the Lord of all creation.
My mind, say the Naam of the One who never fades and never dies.
Every good thing comes from one Source, so keep that Source in mind.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. It is a partaal, a song in which the beat keeps changing. It opens by naming the One. Govind is the Keeper of the world. Gunee nidhaan means the treasure-house of every good quality. Sabh sarisat kaa prabho means the Lord of all creation.
Abhinaasee means the One who never fades and never dies.
Think of a river. The water in every stream, pond, and tap can be traced back to one spring in the hills. Every good thing traces back to a single Source like that.
Where do you think all the good things in the world come from?
