My Whole Being Is Yours and Aches to See You

Gauree Poorbee, Fourth Mehl:
ਹਮਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਵਸਗਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੁਮਰੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਜੀਉ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਸਭ ਤੇਰੀ ॥
hamray paraan vasgat parabh tumrai mayraa jee-o pind sabh tayree.
My breath of life is in Your Power, God; my soul and body are totally Yours.
ਦਇਆ ਕਰਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਦਰਸੁ ਦਿਖਾਵਹੁ ਮੇਰੈ ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਲੋਚ ਘਣੇਰੀ ॥੧॥
da-i-aa karahu har daras dikhaavhu mayrai man tan loch ghanayree. ||1||
Be merciful to me, and show me the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. There is such a great longing within my mind and body! ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My breath is in your hands; my soul and body are entirely yours. Be merciful and let me see you -- there is such a great longing in my whole being.

My whole being is yours -- and it aches to see you.
The deeper layer

Total dependence (breath, soul, body are the One's) and pure viraha -- the longing for darshan (Naam). The soul that knows it belongs entirely to the One aches for the sight of the One.

A Question to Sit With

What is something you long for so much it fills your whole body?
