Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਹੋਇ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲੁ ਤ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਲਾਈ ॥
parabh ho-ay kirpaal ta ih man laa-ee.
When God shows His Mercy, then this mind is focused on Him.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿ ਸਭੈ ਫਲ ਪਾਈ ॥੧॥
satgur sayv sabhai fal paa-ee. ||1||
Serving the True Guru, all rewards are obtained. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the One shows mercy, the mind turns and rests on Him.
Serving the true Guru, every reward is found.
Even your turning toward what's good is a kind of grace.
This one is about how even turning toward the One is a gift.
Parabh ho-ay kirpaal ta ih man laa-ee — when the One is kind, this mind settles on the One. So even paying attention to the One is grace, a free gift.
Think of a friend who calls your name across a noisy playground. You turn because they called you first.
Satgur sayv sabhai fal paa-ee — serving the true Guru, every reward is found. You don't need to chase rewards one by one. They come along with the serving.
A Question to Sit With
Have you noticed that sometimes the wish to do good simply arrives, as if given?
