Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I would give anything for that moment — the moment my mind turns and keeps the Name of the One.
The most precious moment in a life is the moment your mind turns toward the One.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Oh baylaa ka-o ha-o bal jaa-o — I would give myself for that time. Bal jaa-o is what you say about something you treasure beyond anything. Jit mayraa man japai har naa-o — the time when my mind repeats the Name of the One.
Think of a lost puppy that finally spots its family across the park and runs home. That turning is the moment that matters. Everything else in a life is measured against it.
What is a moment so good you would give anything to have it again?
