Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When my "I" goes quiet, there You are. You shaped all of this.
You set things up and You take them down. Through Your Word, You lift us high.
This verse says that when the loud "me" goes quiet, the One is right there.
Ha-o naahee too hoveh: when ha-o, the "I," is gone, You are there. Ha-o is the ego, the part of us that shouts "me, me, me." Think of a room where everyone is talking at once. When the noise stops, you finally hear the soft music that was playing the whole time.
Aapay thaap uthaap sabad nivaaji-aa: You Yourself set things up and take them down, and through the Sabad, the Word, You lift us high.
Letting the ego go quiet is not losing anything. It is finding what was always there.
Have you ever felt more at peace once you stopped making it all about you?
