Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is the very life of your mind, the master of every breath, living right inside this body.
If You give me the gift, I'll sing Your praise — and my mind, at last, is full and content, lovingly turned toward You.
A tender pauri of immanence and dependence. Man kaa jee-o pavanpat dayhee — "the life of the mind, master of the breath, in the body." The One is not far off but the very aliveness of your breathing. And the honest note: jay too deh — "if You give it" — even the singing of praise is a gift received, not a feat achieved (grace as always-given, per the project). The result is man triptai — the mind satisfied and har liv laagaa, lovingly attached. This is the satisfied contentment the whole shabad has been pointing toward.
What is one thing you have that you didn't earn but were simply given?
