Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
What should I grab hold of? What should I gather up, and what should I let go? Honestly, I do not know.
So I ask, simply: be kind to me. Let Your Name be my help and my companion — that is enough.
"I do not know" is an honest thing to say, and the next step is to ask the One for help.
Ki-aa drirh-aan ki-aa sangrahi ti-aagee — what should I hold on to? What should I gather, and what should I let go? Mai taa boojh na paa-ee — I really do not know.
That is a rare and brave thing to say. The seeker sets down the pretending, the "I have it all figured out."
The answer is not a smarter plan. It is naamo ho-ay sakhaa-ee — let the Name be my companion and my help. Think of being lost in a new city and finally asking someone for directions. It feels humble, and it is the moment you start getting somewhere. Empty hands, held open, are ready to receive.
When is it a relief to admit, honestly, that you do not know?
