Bless servant Nanak with this gift, O God, that he may obtain, and enshrine in his heart, the dust of the feet of the Saints.
ਸ੍ਰਵਨੀ ਕਥਾ ਨੈਨ ਦਰਸੁ ਪੇਖਉ ਮਸਤਕੁ ਗੁਰ ਚਰਨਾਰੀ ॥੪॥੨॥੧੨੨॥
sarvanee kathaa nain daras paykha-o mastak gur charnaaree. ||4||2||122||
Hear the Lord's Sermon with your ears, and behold the Blessed Vision of His Darshan with your eyes; place your forehead upon the Guru's Feet. ||4||2||122||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Bless Nanak with this gift, O God: the dust of the feet of the Saints, enshrined in the heart.
Hear His Sermon with your ears, behold His sight with your eyes, and place your forehead upon the Guru's Feet.
Turn every sense toward the One — ears, eyes, and a bowed head.
The closing prayer asks only for humility and devotion: "the dust of the feet of the Saints" in the heart, and the senses devoted — ears to the Sermon, eyes to the Darshan, forehead at the Guru's Feet. Each sense turned toward the One.
A Question to Sit With
How could you turn your senses toward what is good rather than what is empty?
