Bilaaval, Fourth Mehl, Shalok:
ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਜਣੁ ਲੋੜਿ ਲਹੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸੈ ਵਡਭਾਗੁ ॥
har parabh sajan lorh lahu man vasai vadbhaag.
Seek out the Lord God, your only true Friend. He shall dwell in your mind, by great good fortune.
ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਵੇਖਾਲਿਆ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੁ ॥੧॥
gur poorai vaykhaali-aa naanak har liv laag. ||1||
The True Guru shall reveal Him to you; O Nanak, lovingly focus yourself on the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Go looking for the One — your truest friend of all. By great good luck, that Friend comes to live in your mind.
Nanak says: the perfect Guru shows you the One, so lean toward the One, quietly, with love.
The truest Friend is the One, and the Guru points the way.
Go looking for the One, your truest Friend. Sajan means friend or companion — a Friend close by, not a distant ruler. Vekhaali-aa: revealed by the perfect Guru. Liv laag: loving focus.
A Question to Sit With
Who has pointed you toward something good you might not have found alone?
