Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Think of how the thirsty earth drinks the first rain, how the bumblebee follows a flower's sweet scent, how the cuckoo waits all year for the mango season.
That is my heart with the One — pulled toward it the way every living thing is pulled toward what it loves most.
Every living thing leans toward what it loves, and my heart leans toward the One.
Ji-o Dharnee ka-o indar baalhaa: as rain is dear to the earth. Kusam baas jaisay bhavralaa: as a flower's scent is dear to the bhavralaa, the bumblebee. Ji-o kokil ka-o amb baalhaa: as the mango is dear to the kokil, the cuckoo bird.
The list now widens into the natural world. Think of sunflowers turning their faces to follow the sun. Belonging is written into creation itself. Each creature has its beloved, and the One is mine.
What are you naturally pulled toward, the way a bee is pulled toward a flower?
