Verse 3 of 4

Always Right Beside You

ਸੰਗਿ ਤੇਰੈ ਹਰਿ ਬਸਤ ਨੀਤ ॥
sang tayrai har basat neet.
The Lord constantly abides with you.
ਨਿਸ ਬਾਸੁਰ ਭਜੁ ਤਾਹਿ ਮੀਤ ॥੨॥
nis baasur bhaj taahi meet. ||2||
Night and day, vibrate and meditate on Him, O my friend. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One lives with you, always.

Night and day, keep the One close in your heart, my friend.

The thing you're looking for has been right beside you the whole time.
The deeper layer

The One is always with you, so remember the One day and night.

Sang tayrai har basat neet means the One lives with you, always. Think of your own breath. It is with you every second, even when you forget it is there.

Nis baasur means night and day. Bhaj taahi means remember the One, keep the One close in your heart. Meet means friend. Guru Tegh Bahadur speaks warmly, as a friend to a friend. You are never alone.

A Question to Sit With

Who or what feels close to you even when no one else is around?
