How can I meet my Beloved True Guru?
ਹਉ ਖਿਨੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਕਰੀ ਨਮਸਕਾਰੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਕਿਉ ਮਿਲੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
ha-o khin khin karee namaskaar mayraa gur pooraa ki-o milai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Each and every moment, I humbly bow to Him. How will I meet my Perfect Guru? ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
How can I meet my beloved true teacher? Every moment, I bow to him. How will I ever meet my perfect teacher?
The aching question "how can I meet the teacher?" is itself the beginning of the meeting.
The Rahao: the repeated, aching question how can I meet? expresses longing and constant humility (bowing every moment). The longing itself is the readiness for the meeting answered in the next verse.
A Question to Sit With
Is there something you long for so much that the longing shapes your days?
