Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
He Himself is everything. He Himself appraises Himself.
O Nanak, through the Guru's teachings, the Name is obtained — and one merges forever in the True Lord.
Every question circles back to the One. Every answer is the One. The whole conversation is the One with Himself.
The closing pauri returns to the opening: aapai aap — He Himself is all. The divine self-appraisal (aapai aap jaanai) returns from Shabad 43: the divine knows Himself; our knowing is participation in His self-knowledge.
Sach meh saach samaaee — merged in Truth, in Truth. The shabad's frame of "all in His power" completes in the merging: all has always been His, including this soul, now merged consciously in what it always was.
If you knew that you were already, essentially, part of something whole and complete — not separate from it — what would change in how you lived day to day?
