Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am crazy with love: Raam, the One, is my Husband.
Again and again I get ready and dress up for Him.
Love for the One can make a person happily crazy.
Bhagat Namdev was a saint-poet whose songs are in the Guru Granth Sahib. Here he says mai ba-uree: I'm crazy. He means crazy with love. Mayraa raam bhataar: the One is my beloved husband.
Gurbani often pictures the soul as a bride who loves the One. It shows how whole and tender that love is.
Rach rach taa ka-o kara-o singaar: I get ready and dress up for that One, again and again. Singaar means dressing up to look your best.
Think of getting ready for a big birthday party. You pick your best clothes and comb your hair twice. That's how excited Namdev is about the One. And if people call him crazy, he doesn't mind.
What is something you love so much you would happily be teased for it?
