ਲੈ ਕਮਲੀ ਚਲਿਓ ਪਲਟਾਇ ॥
lai kamlee chali-o paltaa-ay.
I picked up my blanket and went back,
ਦੇਹੁਰੈ ਪਾਛੈ ਬੈਠਾ ਜਾਇ ॥੨॥
dayhurai paachhai baithaa jaa-ay. ||2||
to sit behind the temple. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I picked up my blanket and turned back,
and went to sit behind the temple.
Devotion finds a way, even from the back of the temple.
Pushed out of the front, a devoted heart simply goes and sits at the back.
Lai kamlee chali-o paltaa-ay: taking my blanket, I turned back. A kamlee is a small blanket. Dayhurai paachhai baithaa jaa-ay: I went and sat behind the temple.
There is no shouting and no giving up. He finds another place to be near the One.
A Question to Sit With
When something is closed to you, how can you still do what you love?
