Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Day and night, with each breath in and out, I hold the One close.

The One has become my help and my true support, filling every place there is.

Something as ordinary as your breath can become a way of staying close to the One.
The deeper layer

The Rahau: saas saas samaalee — remembering with each breath; pooran sabhnee thaaee — filling all places. sache daa sachaa dhoaa — the true One's true support.

A Question to Sit With

Could you take three slow breaths right now and notice each one?
