Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You hold all the power there is, and yet I can simply ask You to be kind to me, and You are.
Nanak says: the One is not far away in some distant sky. The One fills everything and is closer than close — right here, near, always.
The One is near — a simple, warm truth to end on.
First came the invitation, then the shared singing, then the knots coming loose. Now the last note is closeness. Too samrath — You hold all power. And yet so parabh nayraa — that One is near.
Think of the strongest person you know, who also sits right beside you when you're scared. The all-powerful One is not far away. The One fills everything and is close. Power and closeness belong to the same One.
What changes when you imagine what you long for as near rather than far away?
