Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
People turned toward the One stay soaked in a steady love, day and night.
They're glad through and through, holding what's good close to their hearts here and everywhere.
That love lives deep inside them, and the One gently blends them into itself.
A warm Shalok of the gurmukh who "serves God forever, steeped in the Love of the True Lord," living in anand (bliss) "in this world and the next." The tender image is hirdai raakhiaa — they keep the Beloved "clasped to their hearts." The close is the union-note the Vaar loves: aapay mel milaaiaa — "He blends them into Himself," pure grace showering. It's a portrait of a settled, love-soaked life — not dramatic, just steadily glad.
What is something good you'd like to keep 'clasped to your heart' all day long?
