ਮੰਦਰਿ ਘਰਿ ਆਨੰਦੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵੈ ॥
mandar ghar aanand har har jas man bhaavai.
Those whose minds are pleased by the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, are joyful in the palaces of their own homes.
ਸਭ ਰਸ ਮੀਠੇ ਮੁਖਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਜਾ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵੈ ॥
sabh ras meethay mukh lageh jaa har gun gaavai.
Their mouths savor all the sweet delicacies when they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
ਹਰਿ ਜਨੁ ਪਰਵਾਰੁ ਸਧਾਰੁ ਹੈ ਇਕੀਹ ਕੁਲੀ ਸਭੁ ਜਗਤੁ ਛਡਾਵੈ ॥੨॥
har jan parvaar saDhaar hai ikeeh kulee sabh jagat chhadaavai. ||2||
The Lord's humble servants are the saviors of their families; they save their families for twenty-one generations - they save the entire world! ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who delight in the One's praises are joyful right in the palace of their own home. Their mouths taste every sweetness as they sing. And the One's servants rescue their whole families -- twenty-one generations -- they help save the whole world.
A heart full of the One is joyful right at home -- and lifts whole generations with it.
Three notes: grihast joy -- happiness in your own home; Har Ras -- the mouth savoring delicacies in song; and the great Mehl 4 claim that the realized one saves twenty-one generations and helps the entire world. Salvation radiates outward from a single awakened heart.
