Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the rain clouds come, the peacocks dance.
When the lotus sees the moon, it opens.
When a mother sees her baby, she fills with joy.
In the same way, the One's servants live by remembering the Lord of the World.
The One's people come alive in the One, the way all of nature comes alive for what it loves.
Here are three happy pictures. Maygh samai mor nirtikaar — when the clouds gather, the peacocks spread their feathers and dance. In India the peacock dances when the monsoon rain is coming. Chand daykh bigsahi ka-ulaar — seeing the moon, the night lotus opens its petals. Maataa baarik daykh anand — a mother lights up at the sight of her child.
Nobody teaches a peacock to dance. It just happens when the clouds come. Ti-o har jan jeeveh jap gobind — in just this way, the One's servants come alive when they remember the One.
What makes you light up the way a peacock dances in the rain?
