Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
ਏਕੁ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਮਨ ਮਾਹੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
ayk simar man maahee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Remember the One Lord in meditation within your mind. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Remember the One in meditation within your mind.
It can be as simple as this: remember the One, within.
This one says it can be this simple: remember the One, inside.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line. It is the center of the shabad, the hymn. Ayk simar man maahee — remember the One within your mind. Simar means to remember, to keep in mind with love.
Everything else in the shabad grows out of this one simple step. Think of a seed. The whole plant is already packed inside it. Just keep the One in your mind, quietly, wherever you are.
A Question to Sit With
What is the one simple practice you keep returning to?
