ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ਗਉੜੀ ਪੂਰਬੀ ॥
mehlaa 4 ga-orhee poorbee.
Fourth Mehl, Gauree Poorbee:
ਹਰਿ ਦਇਆਲਿ ਦਇਆ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਕੀਨੀ ਮੇਰੈ ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਬੋਲੀ ॥
har da-i-aal da-i-aa parabh keenee mayrai man tan mukh har bolee.
The Merciful Lord God showered me with His Mercy; with mind and body and mouth, I chant the Lord's Name.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਰੰਗੁ ਭਇਆ ਅਤਿ ਗੂੜਾ ਹਰਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਭੀਨੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਚੋਲੀ ॥੧॥
gurmukh rang bha-i-aa at goorhaa har rang bheenee mayree cholee. ||1||
As Gurmukh, I have been dyed in the deep and lasting color of the Lord's Love. The robe of my body is drenched with His Love. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The merciful One poured grace on me, and now with mind, body, and voice I keep its Name. Turned toward the teaching, I have been dyed in the deep, lasting color of the One's love -- the cloth of my whole body is soaked through with it.
Grace dyes the whole self in a color of love that never washes out.
The Rang image: being dyed in the deep, lasting color (the fast dye) of the One's love -- a transformation that does not fade. The whole self -- mind, body, mouth, the very robe of the body -- is drenched. This is realization as total saturation, by grace.
A Question to Sit With
What experience has "colored" you so deeply it never washed off?
