Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Now no one can raise a complaint against the One's servant.
Whoever tries to accuse that servant is brought down by the Guru, the Transcendent One.
When your life belongs to the One, unfair complaints against you can't land.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Ab jan oopar ko na pukaarai — now no one's complaint can touch the one who serves.
The second line is fierce. It says the Guru and the One strike down whoever tries to accuse the humble. The point is that the udam, the attempt to harm, falls away. Its force melts before the Guru and the One. So the person who trusts stands steady. Think of rain hitting an umbrella: it runs off, and you stay dry.
If someone is being unkind to you or hurting you, that is never something you have to accept. Telling a grown-up you trust is always the right thing to do.
When someone says something untrue about you, what helps you stay steady inside?
