Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My Sovereign, good people lean on You — You are their support.
Whatever fits Your flow, they welcome; You are the strength of their minds and bodies.
This is the rahaa-o line, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. It says good people lean on the One.
Mayray raam raa-ay santaa tayk tumHaaree means "my Sovereign, You are the tayk, the support, of the sants." A sant is a good, steady person. Jo tuDh bhaavai so parvaan means whatever pleases You, they accept. Man tan toohai aDhaaree means You hold up their minds and bodies.
So the mark of a steady heart is parvaan, acceptance. Think of leaning on a strong wall when you are tired. You stop pushing and let it hold you. People who lean on the One can welcome what comes, because they are held.
What helps you accept something you cannot change?
