Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I want to do the kind of work that pleases my Great One — to live in a way that fits with goodness. And so I sing about the wonders of the Oneness, the marvelous, playful ways it moves through the world. My days become a kind of song.
Kaam karee jay thaakur bhaavaa — "I do work that pleases the Master." The aim isn't blind obedience; it's aligning one's daily doing with the good (a version of hukam, living with the flow rather than against it). Geet charit prabh kay gun gaavaa — singing of the charit, the "wondrous play" of the Oneness in creation. Life lived in tune with the good naturally becomes celebratory: work and song stop being opposites.
What work makes you feel like you're living in tune with something good?
