ਅਬ ਮੈ ਪੂਰਾ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੪॥੩॥੪੬॥
ab mai pooraa paa-i-aa. ||4||3||46||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

I took hold of the steady support of good people, and held on.

I kept the One in mind — and now, at last, I feel I have found what is whole and complete.

Hold onto steady support, keep the One in mind, and you arrive.
The deeper layer

After the storm, the heart finds what is whole.

Gahee ot saDhaa-i-aa: I took hold of the support of good and holy people. Naanak har Dhi-aa-i-aa: Nanak kept the One in mind. Ab mai pooraa paa-i-aa: now I have found the Perfect One.

Remember the strong wind and the dark well from the verses before. Here they settle. It is like coming in from a thunderstorm to a warm kitchen, with someone waiting for you.

Holding on to good company and remembering the One is what brings us home.

A Question to Sit With

When has holding onto steady support carried you through to the other side?
