Sikhism·Raag Gauree·Shabad 58
Verse 3 of 5

The One Knows Your Whole Heart

ਜੋ ਹਮਰੈ ਮਨ ਚਿਤਿ ਹੈ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਸਾ ਬਿਧਿ ਤੁਮ ਹਰਿ ਜਾਨਹੁ ਮੇਰੀ ॥
jo hamrai man chit hai su-aamee saa biDh tum har jaanhu mayree.
Whatever is in my conscious mind, O Lord and Master - that condition of mine is known only to You, Lord.
ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈ ਨਿਤ ਜੀਵਾ ਆਸ ਹਰਿ ਤੇਰੀ ॥੨॥
an-din naam japee sukh paa-ee nit jeevaa aas har tayree. ||2||
Night and day, I chant Your Name, and I find peace. I live by placing my hopes in You, Lord. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Whatever is in my mind, you alone know it fully. Day and night I keep your name and find peace. I live by placing all my hope in you.

The One knows your whole heart -- and you can live by placing your hope in it.
The deeper layer

The One as knower of the heart (cf. the Inner-Knower). Remembrance brings peace, and the soul lives on hope in the One. Being fully known and fully dependent are restful, not exposing.

A Question to Sit With

What would it feel like to be fully known and still fully accepted?
