Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The same One who made everything also holds it up and feeds it, every single day, without stopping. How could I let that slip from my mind?
So I hold on to the Name — the living presence of the One — because it is the ground under the feet of anyone who feels they have no ground at all.
How could we ever forget the One who holds everyone up?
Jin kar kaaran Dhaari-aa: the One made the whole creation and keeps it going. Sabhsai day-ay aaDhaar: the One gives support to everyone.
So ki-o manhu visaaree-ai: how can we forget such a Giver, who gives forever and ever?
The Guru prays never to forget the Name. It is niDhaaraa aaDhaar, the support of those who have no support. This is one of Gurbani's most tender names for the One. Think of a hand that is always there to hold, even when everyone else has let go.
Who has been a support to you when you felt you had none?
