Naam Dayv milked the brown cow, and brought a cup of milk and a jug of water to his family god. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Namdev milked the brown cow and carried a cup of milk and a jug of water to his family's god.
Love shows itself in small, real offerings.
Love can begin with something as small as a cup of milk.
Doodh katorai gadvai paanee: milk in a cup, water in a jug. Kapal gaa-ay naamai duhi aanee: Namdev milked the brown cow and brought it. In the old story Namdev, still a boy, carries the milk and water to the family's shrine to offer it.
Think of a child bringing breakfast in bed to a parent. The gift is small, and it carries a whole heart.
A Question to Sit With
