Verse 2 of 3

Woven Through Every Breath, the One Is Never Forgotten

ਤੁਮਰੀ ਓਟ ਤੁਮਾਰੀ ਆਸਾ ॥

You are my support, You are my hope.
ਬੈਠਤ ਊਠਤ ਸੋਵਤ ਜਾਗਤ ਵਿਸਰੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਤੂੰ ਸਾਸ ਗਿਰਾਸਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
baithat oothat sovat jaagat visar naahee tooN saas giraasaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
While sitting down or standing up, while sleeping or waking, with every breath and morsel of food, I never forget You. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

You are my support, You are my hope.

Sitting or standing, sleeping or waking, with every breath and every bite, I never forget You.

Woven through every breath and every bite, the One is never out of mind.
The deeper layer

The Pause makes remembrance continuous: "sitting down or standing up... sleeping or waking, with every breath and morsel of food, I never forget You." The One is woven through every posture and act of an ordinary day — the Name in each breath (cf. Shabad 82).

A Question to Sit With

What good thing could you weave through your whole ordinary day?
