Verse 2 of 5

The One Moved In

ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਗੋਪਾਲਿ ਸੁਹਾਇਆ ॥
mayraa man tan har gopaal suhaa-i-aa.
My mind and body are embellished by the Lord, the Lord of the World.
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਘਰ ਮਹਿ ਆਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
kar kirpaa parabh ghar meh aa-i-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Granting His Mercy, God has come into the home of my heart. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Lord of the World has made my mind and body beautiful.

In kindness, God has come to live in the home of my heart.

Welcomed in, the One makes its home in the heart.
The deeper layer

At the turning point, the Rahao: mayraa man tan har gopaal suhaa-i-aa — mind and body are made beautiful by the One. Kar kirpaa prabh ghar meh aa-i-aa — by grace, the One has come into the home of the heart. The indwelling (ghat ghat) becomes personal and warm: not a distant presence but one that has moved into the house.

A Question to Sit With

What makes a house feel like a home? What might make your heart feel that way?
