Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
If there were anyone else as great as the One, you could turn to them and speak. But there is no other like this, so you speak to the One directly, praising the very source of everything.
On your own you might feel like you are fumbling in the dark, and the Naam is like sight returning — suddenly you can see. Whatever is spoken is the Shabad, and singing it with love makes you beautiful. Nanak says: the biggest thing you can ever say is simple. All of this greatness belongs to You.
Shalok M1. No sareek (equal) exists, so praise goes straight to the Source. Andhe... sujaakha — blindness giving way to sight — is fumbling in the dark giving way to clear seeing, through the Name. Bhaakhi-aa bhaa-ay — chanting with love. The close, sabh teri vadi-aa-ee, gives all greatness to the One.
When has something suddenly become clear, like a light turning on inside you?
