ਜੀਅਰਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਗੁਨਾ ਗਾਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jee-araa har kay gunaa gaa-o. ||1|| rahaa-o.
O my soul, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my soul — sing the praises of the One.
Let your whole heart lift into that song. That is the way back to what you'd forgotten.
The way back to what you'd forgotten is as simple and glad as a song.
The Rahao is a single bright line: jee-araa har kay gunaa gaa-o — "O my soul, sing the glorious praises of the One." Against a shabad full of forgetting, the cure is astonishingly simple and joyful: sing. Not a burden, not a test — a song. This is kirtan and simran in their gladdest form, framed exactly as our guidelines ask: remembering as delight, never as duty.
