Dear Beloved Lord, I praise You continually, as long as there is the breath within my body.
इकु पलु खिनु विसरहि तू सुआमी जाणउ बरस पचासा ॥
If I were to forget You, for a moment, even for an instant, O Lord Master, it would be like fifty years for me.

True is that place of pilgrimage, where one bathes in the pool of Truth, and achieves self-realization as Gurmukh. The Gurmukh understands his own self.
