"My Father is ever-living; my family dwells in the home within."
The Arc
Picture a family that never ends. Your Father, the One, lives forever. Your brothers and friends live on too, and your family lives in the home deep inside you. Find peace there, and the people around you feel it as well. The Perfect Guru brings you close to the One. Then you are rich in a new way: the highest house, lands no one can count, a kingdom that stays steady, wealth that never runs out. The good in you travels through every age and every home, like a song the whole street hums. In the end, Father and child are dyed in one colour of love and become one. At the centre, the Rahao: find peace with the One, and everyone near you is at peace too.
Key Vocabulary
Charanjeevee — ever-living.
Nij ghar — the home of the self within.
Pitaa poot aikai rang — father and son in one colour; oneness.
Themes and Cross-Connections
The family-that-cannot-die theme turns the fear of loss toward hope, echoing Shabad 54's "why grieve." The both-parent and parent-child union anticipates Shabad 67's "Father and Mother."
For Raag Bhairao
A warm, bright shabad; Bhairao's intensity becomes the fierce security of a family nothing can take away.
