Verse 2 of 5

Say It And Be Eased

ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਆਪੇ ॥
rav rahi-aa parabh sabh meh aapay.
God Himself is pervading, and permeating all.
ਹਰਿ ਜਪੁ ਰਸਨਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਨ ਵਿਆਪੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
har jap rasnaa dukh na vi-aapay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Chant the Name of the Lord with your tongue, and pain will not afflict you. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One is everywhere, filling every person and every place.

Say the Naam with your tongue, and pain will not take hold of you.

The One fills every place — and keeping its Name on your lips takes the sharpness out of the ache.
The deeper layer

Presence and practice, side by side: rav rahi-aa prabh sabh meh aapay — the One pervades all — and har jap rasnaa dukh na vi-aapay — chant the Name with the tongue and pain does not take hold. The remembrance is framed warmly and positively; naam on the lips is a comfort, never a chore.

A Question to Sit With

Is there a word, a song, or a name you can say that calms you down? Why do you think it works?
