ਖਿਮਾ ਸੀਗਾਰ ਕਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਖੁਸੀਆ ਮਨਿ ਦੀਪਕ ਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਬਲਈਆ ॥
khimaa seegaar karay parabh khusee-aa man deepak gur gi-aan bala-ee-aa.
If the soul-bride adorns herself with compassion and forgiveness, God is pleased, and her mind is illumined with the lamp of the Guru's wisdom.
ਰਸਿ ਰਸਿ ਭੋਗ ਕਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਮ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਗੈ ਜੀਉ ਕਟਿ ਕਟਿ ਪਈਆ ॥੫॥
ras ras bhog karay parabh mayraa ham tis aagai jee-o kat kat pa-ee-aa. ||5||
With happiness and ecstasy, my God enjoys her; I offer each and every bit of my soul to Him. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the heart dresses itself in kindness and forgiveness, the One is delighted, and the Guru's wisdom lights a lamp inside.
Then there is deep joy and closeness, and I would give every bit of myself to that.
*Kindness and forgiveness are the most beautiful things you can wear.*
khimaa seegaar -- forgiveness worn as adornment; man deepak gur gian -- the lamp of wisdom lit within. The verse relocates beauty from ornament to character: kindness is what pleases and what illumines.
A Question to Sit With
