He is our best friend and companion, our help and support; He is lofty, inaccessible and infinite.
ਚਰਣ ਕਮਲ ਬਸਾਇ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਜੀਅ ਕੋ ਆਧਾਰੁ ॥੩॥
charan kamal basaa-ay hirdai jee-a ko aaDhaar. ||3||
Enshrine His Lotus Feet within your heart; He is the Support of the soul. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
He is our best friend and companion, our help and support — lofty, inaccessible, and infinite.
Enshrine His Lotus Feet within your heart; He is the Support of the soul.
The One is at once the loftiest, most unreachable, and your closest friend.
The One holds two registers at once: intimately "our best friend and companion," and infinitely "lofty, inaccessible." The vast One is also the closest friend (cf. Shabad 190, Shabad 200). Enshrine His Feet within — the infinite Friend, held in the heart.
A Question to Sit With
Can something be both far beyond you and your nearest companion?
