Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A life turned toward the One in love is a life that has arrived. Through the teacher's kindness, the Name rises naturally to your lips.
A life turned toward the One in love is a life that has arrived.
Har kee bhagat janam parvaan -- through devotion, life is approved/accepted. Parvaan -- accepted, its purpose met. Gur kirpaa tay naam vakhaan -- by the teacher's grace, one speaks the Name. Devotion (bhagat) here is loving turning-toward, and it is what makes a life 'arrive' at its meaning.
A Question to Sit With
What would it mean for your life to have 'arrived' -- not later, but in how you live today?
