ਊਠਤ ਬੈਠਤ ਸੋਵਤ ਜਾਗਤ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਤੁਝਹਿ ਚਿਤਾਰੈ ॥
oothat baithat sovat jaagat ih man tujheh chitaarai.
Sitting down, standing up, sleeping and waking, this mind thinks of You.
ਸੂਖ ਦੂਖ ਇਸੁ ਮਨ ਕੀ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਤੁਝ ਹੀ ਆਗੈ ਸਾਰੈ ॥੧॥
sookh dookh is man kee birthaa tujh hee aagai saarai. ||1||
I describe to You my pleasure and pain, and the state of this mind. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sitting down, standing up, falling asleep, waking again — through all of it, my mind keeps turning toward You.
Whatever I feel, the happy days and the hard ones, I bring the whole state of my heart and lay it in front of You.
You can bring the whole of how you feel, not just the good parts.
oothat baithat sovat jaagat — the round of ordinary life; remembrance runs through everything, not only set times. birthaa — the condition of the heart, told openly to the One, joy and pain alike.
A Question to Sit With
What is something you would want to tell the One at the end of a long day?
