ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਵਸੈ ਸਭ ਜਗ ਕੈ ਅਪਰੰਪਰ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਅਤੋਲੀ ॥
har har nikat vasai sabh jag kai aprampar purakh atolee.
The Lord, Har, Har, dwells close by, all over the world. He is Infinite, All-powerful and Immeasurable.
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਗਟੁ ਕੀਓ ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਸਿਰੁ ਵੇਚਿਓ ਗੁਰ ਪਹਿ ਮੋਲੀ ॥੩॥
har har pargat kee-o gur poorai sir vaychi-o gur peh molee. ||3||
The Perfect Guru has revealed the Lord, Har, Har, to me. I have sold my head to the Guru. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One lives close by, spread through the whole world -- endless, all-powerful, beyond measure. The perfect teacher revealed it to me. And I have handed my whole self over to the teacher.
The immeasurable One is near -- and the teacher reveals it to those who give themselves fully.
The paradox of the One immeasurable yet near. What the intellect cannot measure, the Guru reveals. Selling the head to the Guru -- total surrender -- is the price of the revelation. The vast One is met through the humility of giving yourself away.
A Question to Sit With
What would it mean to "hand yourself over" to something you trust completely?
